I was thinking it would be really cool to have a newsgroup
representing my home directory on a remote machine. This way I'd have
point and click access to my files by using ange-ftp and nneething.
I set the address to /username@host:~ but it seems to fetch the full
file for everyfile...
I guess I could just make a menu-button with dired and ange-ftp... I
just like telling my friends the crazy things that can be done with a
newsreader.

Yes, it tries to compile something that looks like a summary buffer,
so it reads the first 2k bytes (I think) of every file. Of course,
ange-ftp doesn't allow that -- it fetches the complete file.

dired really is better than nneething to browse directories, strangely
enough. :-)
