Not to be confused with hammer time.

Since your suggestion for a newsserver turned out so well (I'm using 
motzarella in case that wasn't obvious) how about some suggestions for a 
good, free newsreader. Is Forte still a happening thing or even a thing 
at all?

I use Firefox's brother: Thunderbird. But mainly because it does mail, 
hotmail, RSS and newsgroups without me needing different programs or OE. 
It doesn't do binary ng's for as far as I know.

I use Agent (pay version). I am not sure if FreeAgent (free version)
still exists... 
I suppose it could.

I use MicroPlanet Gravity, the best free newsreader in the world! 
Apparently I've been using that same very program for the past 7 years.
