I've usually already read major branches and just need the latest posts way down there. I don't care too much how it is displayed but I want to be able to follow a thread. And this was one of Walter's complaints about reddit.

A reddit frontend for digitalmars.D would be interesting. But their are major issues that would need resolved for it to be good as a news reader.
