Oh yeah.  And other folks don't even see the problem.  Annoying little devil,

I use NNTP all the time and don't see this problem. It takes about 3 seconds to establish the NNTP connection between my laptop and lugnet.com and then I can scan and download the 39 groups I'm subscribed to in just a couple of minutes.
