Features of Tb not found in many news clients:

  - format=flowed posting (albeit noncompliantly implemented in replies)
  - rewrap functionality in compose to solve other poster's f=f deficiency

I agree that Tb's developers are not news agent oriented; they think of 
Tb as a mail agent which can also do news.  It has no scoring, wildcards 
or regex for its weak filter function.

It has no combine and decode for even the mildest of binary function. 
It rates not only better than GG, but also better than OE, both of which 
have a history of great inexplicable popularity on usenet.
