Yes.  Except for the fact that it hasn't kept up with unicode, I find 
the U/I pretty much perfect.  I imagine at some point I'll be force to 
look elsewhere, but then again, netnews is pretty much dead.

Hmmm, good to know.  I'm still on 10.7, and don't see any reason to

Python 2.x, wouldn't you?
