I'm a long time slrn user but still really a noob because I never dug into the configuration options really all that much. Slrn used to be great for speed and ultimate champ for configuration options. Along with either leafnode or even slrnpull it was and in some ways still is a very powerful combination. These days while the latter is true, the former is not. At least not on my 2 Linux systems. Thunderbird retrieves faster, posts faster and doesn't suffer from the very sligh lag that slrn seems to. For me, I think it's time to move on. At least for as long as usenet is around which may not be all that long. One thing about Thunderbird is that I have not been able to figure out how to change the fonts to make them larger. The options seem to have no effect under LinuMint and even the add on extension "Font Changer" which works under Windows version of Thunderbird doesn't even show up under the Linux version although it installs. Thunderbird configuration options are a mess as well. They are scattered all over the place. I'll figure it out. Any other suggestions for a full featured Linux GUI based usenet news program under Linux? I don't like pan at all.
