But it's the only newsreader I've tried that can compete with MacSOUP.

MacSoup provides a graphical thread display; Newswatcher doesn't, right? So, in what manner is Newswatcher "the only newsreader ... that can compete with MacSOUP?" (Mind you, I am still stuck using Entourage for NG access...I still haven't quite figured out the "nuances" of MacSOUP -- the Manual is a bit confusing to me -- but I absolutely love MacSOUP's offline nature and graphical thread presentation.) -- iMac (27", 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD) � OS X (10.6.2)

I forgot the golden rule....MTNW is the only newsreader that can compete with MacSOUP.....IMHO Hogwasher, Thunderbird, Unison - and the others - I really don't get them. > > (Mind you, I am still stuck using Entourage for NG access...I still haven't > quite figured out the "nuances" of MacSOUP -- the Manual is a bit confusing > to me -- but I absolutely love MacSOUP's offline nature and graphical thread > presentation.)
