Maybe. It depends, for example, on what the URL for each newsreader at http://quimby.gnus.org/cgi-bin/newsreaders is supposed to do. There used to be a web page which kept track of all of the versions of NewsWatcher, but it seems to have disappeared. Since such a thing doesn't exist, it might be useful to specify a URL for each one. (Whereas with Mozilla, you can give a single URL and be content, with the different NewsWatchers, people will not find MT-NewsWatcher if they go to the site for NewsWatcher, etc.) -- John H.
