This would be why I use Forte Agent under Wine, why settle for hobbyware

but I have yet to see a GUI one worth anything.

Pan works for me. If I want to run Windows stuff, I'll fire up the Windows

Windows. It got weird on Linux and I switched to Pan.

My philosophy is to use the best, the latest, up-to-date, user-
friendly software for a given purpose.  It's pretty simple, other than
Usenapp for macOS, Forte Agent stands as a flagship GUI NNTP client,
native to Windows API but usable under Wine.  There's just no good
reason to put up with something less than.

I've seen editor wars, and OS wars, but this is the first time
I've seen some Usenet rando try to start a newsreader war.
