In slightly unrelated news, I *really* need a small-ish catchy name for this

Hmm.  Well, hmm, I think there some things to bear in mind...  First, LUGNET
and JAVA are trademarks, so I think you'll want to seek permission to use
those before releasing a software package with one of those in the title.
Second, it's possible (although I haven't looked at the code in-depth to
confirm) that your reader might actually not be LUGNET-pecific.  LUGNET is a
community based on a software package in development with a current working
title of "Fibblesnork" (but that name isn't written in stone).  If/when all
or parts of underlying software is released, it may go out under that name
or a different name (but in any case it definitely wouldn't go out under the
LUGNET name).

ok, I'll ask for myself then - is it ok if I do call it LugnetReader?  Since it's
currently very lugnet specific, and I have no plans of expanding it further?
It _can_ be done, just needs the nntp interface module written for it...  But
I've no interest in that.

Should I look for another name?

(...) Cool!!! (...) Well, cookies are an HTTP thing. If your client is posting articles, I think you'll find NTTP to be much simpler and cleaner for that. :-) All the HTTP posting mechanism does is opens up a single-use temporary NNTP session from (...)
