Ahh, so it is web based.  I'm not too surprised that it stinks..  I'm surprised that they can't
create something that works with standard newsreaders, and I can't think of
a platform that doesn't have a newsreader for it.  Heck, I think DOS has one.

And the other problem is that downloading a web page with all the graphics crap
takes forever, too.  Sometimes the graphics are nice, and other times, it's a waste
of bandwidth.
