I don't want to use the web client.  It's clunky.

With NNTP, I can read posts offline, choose my NNTP client (thus finding a
UI that is right for me), etc.

Thanks for the info though.  Now I know that throwing $10 at lugnet won't
fix the problem.

I skimmed the discussions below.

I also know that Lugnet members have a username and password.  One would
wonder then why the NNTP service simply doesn't require a user to login?

I know this can be done, because I operate one such NNTP server and it keeps
the Spam and bad people out, and also doesn't require cumbersome "approval"
messages for every post.

How do I eliminate the need to approve each NNTP post to Lugnet?

There's no way to do this. There's quite a bit written up about the • technical
details. If you're interested, try one of these threads:

http://news.lugnet.com/announce/?n=1120
http://news.lugnet.com/admin/suggestions/?n=600

Or search for 'authentication' in the admin news groups.

If you want to avoid the approval email, join LUGNET, and paste your • message
into the web page for posting. That's what I do.
