With as little respect as I can get away with, are you a continuing
example of a whiny user who is incapable of moving forward in any
venue?

NS4 is not less than 3 years out of date.  Netscape itself does not
support it any longer, having moved onto NS7.  The standards of the
world have moved forward; a piece of software whose capabilities are
fixed at the technological boundary of 3 years ago will not be able to
cope with today's needs.

You are still using Gnus 5.7, even though as much as a year ago the
difficulties with continuing to use 5.7 were explained to you, and
still you refuse to expend the effort to upgrade.

You are still using Emacs 20, even though Emacs 21 (and XEmacs 21)
have also been out for considerable time.  In fact, Gnus 5.8's release
was timed so as to be able to become 5.9 within the Emacs 21 release.

One can only wonder if any x86 boxes you own are still running Win3.1.

The world will not sit still for you.

You ask question after question after question after question after
question...yet you are _*/NEVER/*_ satisfied with _*/ANY/*_ answer you
are given.  _*/NOTHING/*_ is good enough for you.

Fine: Walk away from Gnus.  And Emacs.  And Netscape.  Clearly, from
your perspective, the problem is with the entire rest of the human
race, and you are the one shining beacon of reason.

I hesitate to call you a troll, because it has become too common to
complain of trolls.  But you are at the edge of being one nonetheless.
