The INN model is that there are two classes of hosts:
	Those that give you articles via IHAVE;
	Those that do (almost) everything but IHAVE.
Those in the first class are called newsfeeds; those in the latter are
called readers.

This model does not fit everyone.  I never claimed that it did, and
sometimes you have to do a bit of fine-tuning to make your reality fit the
INN model.  I don't want to change the INN model because I believe it's a
good one.  Instead there are some things to help:
	My 'clientlib' emulation can be linked into newsreaders to make
	sure they get to the newsreader.

	You can run the reference implementation nntpd instead of nnrpd,
	and put only true newsfeeds in your hosts.nntp file.  See the
	install manual.
