First off note that unix-wizards is not the proper forum for this, there is a newsgroup "net.news" for discussion of netnews issues. Those people on the arpanet who are not on USENET are likely to be uninterested in your observation.

The B version of netnews will allow you to write your own program as a user interface, much as mail currently allows you to write your own mail handling program. Brian Redman of BTL has already started on a screen oriented user interface called "vnotes". (decvax!harpo!ber).
