Right. However, it doesn't mean the NNTP interface is needed; just the current one lacks usability. As a very minimum, I'd like to get an email notification whenever somebody replies to my post (or probably another one in its thread). This optional feature may be enabled by checking an appropriate box next to the "Publish comment" button. And/or, I'd like to be able to mark as "hot" an article - which would result, again, in the email notification whenever a comment to it is posted.

Oh, the irony: I've just read the followups to my comment for the first time.

Noone will ever read this, of course.

It could happen.
