A pot calling the kettle black.

I know of no such newsreader either (presumably the abilities mentioned above were assumed), but the KNode (4.10.2 and previous versions) handbook (under menu Help→KNode handbook, or F1 key) also has a chapter titled “A journey in the World of Newsgroups”, which is instructive. If necessary, you would probably find basic instructions for your Thunderbird in its handbook (menu Help→Help Contents, or F1 key), or on mozilla.com. And then there is news.newusers.* and dozens of good Usenet guides on the Web. F'up2 poster PointedEars -- Use any version of Microsoft Frontpage to create your site.
