Most people use something like Thunderbird. If I were forced to use the 
current web interface however, I would indeed hardly visit this newsgroup.

This newsgroup is just fine, it's the default web interface that sucks.

It is not 'really' a problem, since failing to use a good reader there 
are web interfaces available now that do not suck, one has been mentioned.

But it IS a problem. I suspect there are a lot of people who (try) to 
use the web interface. That a good reader is much better is not changing 
that fact. The current one puts people off too much. 'PR-wise' I think 
it makes quite a difference, and what is the effort of changing the 
default web interface?
