    Forget NovaBBS. Unless a new administrator takes over its
    running (since the passing of 'retroguy') it'll just get
    progressively worse as bugs don't get fixed, etc.

    You have a reasonably good newsreader, there are probably better
    ones out there, but XanaNews does what it says on the tin. So
    it's up to you to configure it to suit your needs... it is more
    powerful than a web interface.

    You could try "Newsgrouper" if you really insist on accessing
    Usenet via a web interface.

    Novabbs is working, but very intermittently. It's up and down, it's okay
    for short sessions but perhaps not reliable enough for serious usenet
    access.

    I tried it and got "Blocked due to UK Online Safety Act". According to Wikipedia there's Easynews, but that seems to cost money, Narkive, which Wikipedia say is read only; does that mean I can't write anything using
    that?; and Nemo, which apparently is in French. Does anyone know
    anything about Nemo? That sounds like my best bet; although I don't
    speak French.

    NovaBBS is working intermittently today, so I still haven't decided
    whether to have the vote or not.
