Not at all what I'm looking for.  Basically all I want out of a
"public discussion area" interface (whatever it is) is that I can see
what messages I haven't yet read.  The web-news interface does not do
that.

The other problem with the web-news interface is that it's a piece of
shit.  It breaks threading, it doesn't obey many RFCs, the interface
itself is terrible (as someone, maybe you, mentioned, it doesn't
thread entire conversations, only a given number of posts), and it's
just broken in some areas.  For example, if you are on any board other
than digitalmars.D, clicking replies _does not work_ as it takes you
to the "right" message ID on the *wrong board*.

Also, stop top-posting, unless you want to feel the wrath of one of
the people who feels it's their moral obligation to berate those who
top-post.  (top-posting is putting the quoted post after your own, if
you didn't know already.)
