Best Mac os x news reader (nntp)

Hi all

Read the stickies but no mention, I guess nntp readers aren't as in as they used to be.

However, anyone got any views on the best one to use that natively works nicely with the Mac - I'm talking text readers here, not binaries downloaders, sabnzb seems to work well for that.

Unison?

using unison, seems to do the job. Pay though.

I guess if you're not willing to stump up the relatively cheap price, for easily the best news groups reader on OS X, you could always use MT-NewsWatcher instead?

By a mile.

will check out mt watcher as well. I'm not a hardcore usenet guy (anymore), just like to check some groups with something better than google groups.

It's not very good. You should just stick with unison and cough up the £18 if you really like it.
