I've solved the read vs. unread issue by reading LUGNET via RSS & Google reader.
There's not enough traffic on LUGNET to prevent me from reading it via RSS now
(the traffic has dramatically dropped since Peeron introduced the RSS feed).
And I have the same ability to mark an item unread & read it later if I want.
And there's no need to re-write NNTP readers to understand FTX. But it would be
nice for the LUGNET RSS feed to include images -- that should be a simple hack.
