My news*reader* (tin) is perfect, it lets me enter and diplay unicode
characters without a hitch, it can post to whatever groups you can,
I can use my favourite editor, I can read news from any computer (that
has ssh client installed), etc...
but ever since all the news*servers* in our network bitrotted, I
am left with free ones, and some of them, like aioe, limit follow-ups
(not posting) to 3 groups... Of course, I could pay for a commercial
server, but it is just not worth the (tiny amount of) money for me...
since I seldom cross-post and cross-follow-up.

Exactly - I have no reason to switch away from tin, and only a very tiny
reasons to switch from aioe. If the google groups werea news*server* (it
is not! It offers no NNTP accesss, then, by definition, it is just a www
interface, not a newsserver), I might reconsider.
