Surely you jest. I'd rather stop reading news than use tin and in fact at
one stage I did. Yes, tin gets my vote, but as the worst newsreader possible.

And do I remember someone saying that tin's command set was less obfuscated
than nn's? I think I'm going to faint. That person requires serious
psychiatric attention.

I believe that all tin users should lined up against a wall, right next
to those dirty emacs lovers and shot. A lot. Then, when we're finished
with them, we should proceed to shoot everyone who owns a computer that
doesn't run Unix or Plan 9. When we're finished with them then we'll nuke
Seattle and hope that Bill is home. Next, we'll kill everyone who isn't
exactly identical to me, because they're obviously a waste of space.

Christofu.
