   I still don't get it. And what does "The New Web" mean?

   What's the advantage over e.g. using your favourite mail program (such as
Thunderbird) to access any of the JamNNTPd servers available -- the list is
posted weekly in the proper Fidonews -- where you can get proper access to
every Fidonet echo available, and it's been working for a decade now?

   Such as the link in my origin.

   Using that link even makes you evade the censorship that recently had Tim
Richardson banned from Fidonet by NAB-Ross for no reason at all. If memory
serves me right, he used an account on your system to post here, but he no
longer can. Why...?
