   Wouldn’t know; I tried XNews years ago and didn’t like it at   
   all.  If you’re going to read online, try MesNews; it’s free   
   at  and lets you specify how   
   many articles you want to download.

   holes to root for sandtatties.  The waves whispered   
   rhythmically over the packed sand: haggisss, haggisss,
