Then blame your News Reader -- slrn/0.9.8.0 (NetBSD) ;-)

You waste your time dave. If there is one person you could find more
dissagable than a Linux user it just has to be a BSD user. NetBSD at that!

This guy uses an oddball (to be kind) reader and expects it to recognise
advanced, non-complying (because it is advanced) features of a modern day
news reader. When it won't, he blames not his historic reader but the one
with features all the rest of us are used to having.

It's one thing to use an alternative operating system but another thing
alltogether to expect it to be as advanced as a bought one. For years users
of Unix like operating systems have predicted the imminent demise of
Microsoft as the dominant OS. Maybe if the 'ix developers ever did agree on
one point and make it seem possible, the next point would be in disagreement
and the whole thing fall over again. SLRN is hardly a leading edge package.
