Hello Mark,

I'd put that number closer to 99%. But a newsgroup via a web interface does have one advantage: When you aren't at your computer but somebody else's and that person belongs to those 99% ;-)

Same for hotel computers etc. They usually don't quite appreciate it if you'd start installing a newsreader on their machine.

One doesn't always have access to an NNTP news client. I don't have a news client at work, for example. I usually use google groups but I don't see the harm in an alternative.
