That sounds good. Sometimes that tree display can take a while to load
(sometimes).
BTW, I just noticed that LUGNET messages aren't very pretty then viewed with
Lynx in an 80-column window. It's mainly just a lot of premature line-wrap
in the message text. I suspect that there's not much to be done in this
case; the messages are posted at something close to 80 columns anyway, and
with what little padding happens at the left and right edges, premature
line-wrap may be unavoidable.
