   Because Betterbird and Thunderbird both have bugs where they don't   
   download articles from newsgroups if the filters I created are too   
   complex. For example, I have a very effective filter for Larry   
   Pietraskiewicz which ensures that I never see any of his stupidity. If I   
   enable it, the news server will simply not bother to download any articles   
   at all; if I disable it, it will download as expected, but I'll have to be   
   exposed to mental retardation worse than that of the official retards in   
   my school. I've tried it on two news servers and got the same result. Pan   
   has no such problem despite being a clunkier program otherwise.
