Actually the levins is on my IM list, but I never talk to him. Actually
I hardly ever talk to Aglamians that way, since it is illegal.

I love slrn for being run from the terminal, but don't like that you
need an external editor for writing posts. There are more acceptable
graphical clients though. There's Thunderbird or Icedove, which are
too bloated for me, Sylpheed and Claws, which don't have separate
reply header settings for NNTP accounts, and also Knode if you're into
that wicked KDE shit. 

I used to use Pan, but the latest beta versions drive me insane because
for some strange reason it wouldn't wrap lines longer than 72
characters. The old Pan does do that, but it's old and looks ugly. So
I decided to switch to XPN, which seems pretty much alright except
that it's ugly as well. If only there'd be a way that I could turn off
toolbars...oh well....pine
