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).
