Like, how come it's dead in the water?
I see there are lots of replies that I haven't read yet, but I'll just
answer Suz's question directly for myself.
I read a few standard newsgroups from my ISP's server via NNTP. E.g.
comp.arch (computer architecture), rec.humour.funny, etc.
I have never switched to another way of reading news - NNTP is simply so
much faster for me. I've never done any RSS stuff. I use "gnus" inside
Gnu Emacs. A co-worker uses it to aggregate several news sources and email
streams, but I have no need for that (nor could I remember the key bindings!)
