The best was NNTP, but sadly there are not many places where it is still 
used. Web and e-mail approach is for more "handicaped" users, and as the 
exampes shows, there are many of them. Otherwise the trend would be to 
stick to NNTP and not to move to no powerfull solutions.

If someone wants to put his/her news system on non NNTP base it is his/her
own free will.
I guess there are enough people who understand the difference and major user
groups are hosted on nntp - somehow supply and demand question. May be at
some point of time it will be replaced by something else, but I don't see
it coming
