This is a monthly reminder that via the web you can easily access
alt.games.doom at
http://www.ugroups.com/Entertainment/viewforum.php?f=76  without a
newsreader.

Yeah, but i prefer to use a *powerful* method of reading newsgroups. I 
dislike the web-based versions, which are cumbersome to use and navigate.

I'll second that.  I hate the web-based versions.  Creative labs really 
pis*ed me of when then dropped NG support for web-based.

If you want to use some sensationalist headline as the basis for your 
security needs, go right ahead.

You might, however,  want to consider a more rational approach:

IE:      79 Secunia Advisories (one or more rated Highly critical)
Firefox: 13 Secunia Advisories (one or more rated Less critical)

Source:

http://secunia.com/product/4227/

Seems like a no-brainer decision to me. ;-)
