Exactly. My computer is online 100% (Linux), so offline doesn't matter to
me. I sit here typing into Gnu emacs (so editing is comfortable), with a
browser window half-hidden, open to the "Lugnet Classic" logo from a post
I read a few minutes ago. It takes essentially no mouse movement or clicks,
and very few keystrokes for me to read several groups worth of Lugnet
articles. Very efficient. The switch away from the standard NNTP port was
a bit of a nuisance, but I got over it.
