If I want to see the pictures I just kick their URL's off to my image viewer.
If I don't, I don't have to wait for them to arrive.

So do I. But not af all the MOCs.

That requires a rather fat pipe-line. With a 56 kbit/s
modem line that's sort of out of the question to do for
all the threads on Lugnet unless I get a quite intelligent
client (like a NNTP client).
A NNTP client which supported FTX and RSS would be nice.
But I would certainly want to be able to tell it which
threads should be downloaded and shown, and which threads
shouldn't.

That may not seem like much fun, but what I do in that
case is that I queue the URLs which seem interesting and
have them downloaded the next time I'm online. But
you're right that it would be nice if my NNTP client could
do that automatically based on some rules I have given it
(or trained it with).

No doubt there.
Play well,
Jacob (who starts thinking that maybe his summer holiday
project ought to be a NNTP client and not a CMS)
