I am a paid up Lugnet member (no pack yet, guess there's a backlog), and I love NNTP as I can keep track of interesting threads and find messages I haven't read quickly and easily. If I could enter my Lugnet member ID and password in the NNTP auth settings and not have to have this email auth then that would be perfect, and the idea of leaving the email auth for non-members is, I believe, workable.
