- You're describing a need for a tool like PSU NETNEWS or NNR, both
- Usenet newsreaders. The bit.listserv hierarchy gateways most of
- the really high-volume groups (and a lot of the smaller ones).

- gopher makes a fairly poor news reader, unfortunately, as it
- keeps no records of what you've seen already. If you have a news
- server available to you, NNR is the way to go.
