It has nothing to do with "buying" a newsreader, though with all the
free ones available, I don't know why anyone would buy one.

I bought Agent many years ago for about the price of a good bottle of
whiskey and never looked back. Sometimes it is worthwhile having a
licensed copy of a commercial product. If for nothing else, you are
supporting the guy who wrote it. You can also get support when you
have a problem. I got a free upgrade when yenc files showed up.

I have a licensed copy of Agent, albeit a version a few years old. I
don't like it now, and I didn't like it then. I am more than happy with
Thunderbird for email and newsgroups.
