No. Since there are no longer any binaries on Usenet that's not a 
problem, is it?

I have more time tonight so I'll go into more detail.

The main things I like about ProNews/2 are that it presents 
everything threaded in an indented format, it automatically opens 
only threads and subthreads with new posts, it clearly labels what 
has been downloaded and what has been read, and it takes me straight
to the first new posting. It facilitates reading only subthreads of 
interest -- for example, if I abandon a subthread that has drifted 
to something dull like how best to brew tea (as happened recently on
alt.usage english), I can leave those posts unread. The next time I 
read news, the unread posts preceding the new ones make it obvious 
that I had abandoned this subthread, and so page down past all that 
until I see a new post following a read post.

It's a little buggy with regard to display but nothing serious. The 
main thing wrong with it is that the filtering is primitive. Since 
News.Individual.Net has excellent filtering, that's not been a 
problem.
