I agree about the U/I, although I'm sure a lot of that has to do with 
familiarity. However, netnews isn't dead, it has just morphed a bit.  A 
newsreader, like MT-NW, is great for following mailing lists like this 
(and most other Python-related lists) via gmane.org's bi-directional 
mailing list - NNTP gateways.  And for this list it's usually better to 
read the mailing list variant via gmane.org NNTP than the Usenet group 
variant via a traditional USENET NNTP server because there's less spam 
with the former.

Heh. Well, both 10.8 and 10.9 proved various improvements, both feature 
and performance, over 10.7.  Alas, Apple won't likely be supporting 10.7 
with security updates for as long as the PSF will be supporting 2.7.x.  
But, by then, you'll have had a chance to re-implement MT-NW in Python.
