You have to be either foolish or very discriminating to actually pay
for a Usenet newsreader. There are many good free ones. The for-pay
ones are different but not necessarily better. You have to set them all
up, of course.

But if you're looking for an excuse to quit, by all means carry on with
your misconception.
