The threading display is wonderfully easy to navigate, and "Goodfellas" is the best film.

For those of us who don't want to spend more time reading and less time futzing with filters, Unison is great. If you are on Usenet 24-7 want to nerd-out on settings & filters, then there's other softeware more appropriate. I'm just a casual user who wants to keep up on the latest LOST theories and download the latest Stargate Universe or Caprica episode for my iPod. -- Scotto
