Ok, I dont use the thread grouping ...IIRC it does need some help in that
area, but I never felt the need.

As for BNR2 features that 3 does not have, I use both 2 and 3 on an almost
everyday basis (2 for Nzb's and checking my stuff) and 3 for the groups I
read, I dont know of anything different between the two ?

Oh, there is one, you cant make a newsRC file in 3, but as the DB goes on
sort of forever its not 'really' needed, as for the ability to rebuild the
queue, I thought that was a start time thing you just use the cmd line
switches to do that sort of thing, or remove the .que altogether to force
a full scan of the DB.
