No, I don't think it is. On the other hand I think it's slighly arrogant of you to imply that the author of my.gnus.org should spend time working around bugs in ancient, defective software. It's is an unfortunate fact of life that Netscape 4 is defect in such a way, that it tries to interpret some of the standards (especially stylesheets) related to the world wide web in very wrong ways. If Netscape 4 did what the standards say - ignore the stuff you don't understand - there would be no problem. But it doesn't. Due to those problems, it is not recommendable that anyone use Netscape 4. > There might be some way to get http://my.gnus.org to work with > Netscape Communicator 4.74 in the effort to reach novice beginners > who don't know a lot. There might be. To know whether the effort that would take is worthwhile, you need to consider how that time could otherwise be spent benefitting novices and others a whole lot more. If you don't agree, tell me this: Why Netscape 4? Why not version 3, 2 or 1? > There might be someone else who knows what can be done for novices > using Netscape.

You yourself pointed out the obvious thing to do: Use Microsoft Internet Explorer. Most novices do. I merely added some of the other choices that people, novices and experts alike, have to the list.
