Definitely looks great so far. I'm more than a little surprised 
that it's so fast despite the server being in France and me being 
in Canada. One thing that annoys me though is that there is no 
easy way (short of the back button) to go back to the section / 
newsgroup you were at after reading. When you're scrolled to the 
bottom of the page, you have to manually scroll back up then 
click the text at the top. It would be nice if there was at least 
a Top button to get back to the top of the page. It sounds minor, 
but it's annoying to scroll to the top without using the 
keyboard, and generally when browinsg your hands aren't on the 
keyboard.

Also, robots.txt seems like it needs to be updated. Google is 
storing pages from /reply/stuff, which brings up the reply form 
when clicked instead of the thread itself.
