TDPL a bad idea?

I've said it before, but I might as well say it again; I'm of the same opinion, 
News groups are my first choice for online communities. I think the primary 
reasons for this is that it 1) doesn't require me to keep hitting refresh, 
2) works offline and 3) allows me to use whatever interface I darn well choose.

If D were to quit providing a NNTP interface, I'd loose interest in participating 
in these discussions. Heck, (HINT, HINT, HINT) the fact that Tango has a 
forum rather than a news group is half or more of the reason I don't use it.
