I agree.

I've also tried using a number of other news readers and haven't had good
luck with anything else.  Most leave out features that I need, such as
support for multiple servers, and allowing connections to ports other then
119 (I tunnel my news connection through ssh and use port 10119).  There are
a few quirks in OE, but until someone can show me something that works
better and is free I'll stick with it.  I remember trying winvn, free agent,
newsxpress, slrn, and netscape's news client.  I've probably tried more then
that as well.

I would be very interested in this as well.
