Don't make me feel old ;)

I like how newsgroups readers give me a choice of interface.  Forums seem
like ad-hoc creations that only give the options the creator decided on. 
I've never seen a way to monitor multiple forums (on different sites) in a
unified way.  Recent forum irks would include a lack of any notification
when someon responds to a topic I created in a tango forum.

Maybe I'll get lucky and someone will respond with all the ways to remove my
issues :)
