Such it is. I had thought, from a brief exchange with the author about a feed which never worked, that a filter is needed for any atom feed. But I only applied filters to problem feeds and never looked farther into it. > > > > I won't be switching from snownews till I have to pry my cold dead fingers > > off of it. > > Why is that?

Mainly, I have been highly satisified for 4 years with its fast, minimal intereface and light resource usage. e.g., you can issue a command when you find it in the help menu rather than quiting the help menu first. The whole interface seems to work in that clean, minimal-key-presses way. Midori and elinks supliment it well and I have it switching between them on whether I am in X. I find it sensible too. Probably a personal predisposition. For example, there is something about the logic of Opera's interface that forever defies me (even though I was using it on Win98 when it debued at a price around $29 plus upgrade charges.) So I use a plethora of other options that work along the lines I am anticipating. > > Cheers, > Kelly Clowers > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
