1) They're gunky looking.
2) They contain no useful information to a human.
3) They can be very, very long. I've seen some here bigger than 80
characters in length. That makes them unsuitable for URLs.
4) The thought of putting NNTP ID's in an HTTP URL is disgusting.
5) They look like e-mail addresses.
6) They generally just suck.

| (...) I wonder why. (...) Great, I'll do that! (...) When I read LUGNET offline at home, the Xref header has the article number on my local news spool. I don't think that number would be too interesting for anybody else. Fredrik (24 years ago, 19-Dec-00, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
