One more then done...

Things seem good. Maybe you can test hatching files via a FDN via your othernet.

Yep, you and I did this :)

News servers often hide messages you've read. Maybe you'll see this new one?

it isn't the server... it is the client... remember that news clients handle the lastread pointers and whether the user can see already read posts or not... quite the opposite of BBS access via dumb terminals...

my Iphone.

Yes, it is the client. That seems to be the way most news clients work although I haven't used a news server/client recently.

It terrible hard to navigate all those threads. I much prefer my dumb terminal!

Leafnode does something similar in that it does not post messages to
the news servers disk until after a short amount of time.

Using a news server is quite a bit different than what someone who has been using a BBS interface is used to and the experience can change again with a different client.

I sometimes use tin to read messages on my own server. It works and behaves well but I can't get used to the message threading. It's not a bad thing, but it is different.
