Gregg, maybe the silence is a sign of contentment! I waited and waited for you 
to release 3.0, refusing to buy version 2.x for lack of wide screen support. 
I tried 3.0 and bought it the same day!

On the poll, we were only allowed to choose the most desired feature, so I 
selected VFS support. BUT colour would be nice and the ability to click a 
link in an article and pull up the page in one's web browser would be 
wonderful.

I am that rare bird that reads newsgroups exclusively on my PDA. Up until you 
released v3, I read my newsgroups on my Pocket PC with Qusnetsoft NewsReader. 
Now that I have New Yanoff V3, I do my news reading on my T3.

I love that it works with Fonts4OS5 and FontSmoother. I use Tahmoa 13 AA for 
Yanoff and it works perfectly and looks gorgeous in widescreen landscape 
mode.

I don't recall having had a single crash with it. Even when I owned my Zodiac 
(which I sold to return to a T3) I don't remember any crashes.

I've only found a couple of flaws in the program and they're minor. When going 
from one article to another, the article title doesn't seem to always clean 
up after itself, so if you have an article with a long name and the next 
article has a short name, part of the long name still remains when you pull 
the short article.

Also when scrolling in an article, often one of lines will get highlighted 
which is kind of ugly, but otherwise no big deal.

It would also be nice if when reading newsgroups with crossposts if when 
reading the program would automatically skip over articles already marked as 
read because of crossposting. (If there's a setting for this, I can't find 
it).

Other than those, I can't find any flaws with the program. I do NOT use the 
conduit, but collect articles via BT connection to either my cell phone or 
local network, so I can't comment on how well the conduit does or does not 
work.

Quite frankly, the program works as advertised and I'm pleased. I am glad I 
bought it and have no regrets. And that could be why you don't see much 
traffic here - it does what you says it does and it does it well!
