That's odd, Mr. Internet Guru.... I use the same reader as you, and I
have no problems! And of course, name calling is what happens when you
have been found, once again, to be a complete idiot. How Harryesque.
Notice, if you will, the only ones to have trouble with the links I
provide are you, Greg and Meyer.... Everyone else says it's not a
problem!!! Hmmmmmm?

I know how to paste but I have to open a new browser instance, paste
the url, delete the space and launch it instead of simply clicking the
link.

It is really seldom worth the effort for the crap you link.

Well, perhaps if you weren't using a 19th Century news reader like Forte
Agent...

There are a number of reasons for using a simpler news reader than
Outlook or some other bloatware.
For one thing, it runs off a thumb drive and will execute on any
windoze platform without actually being installed. That is handy if
you have more than one machine.

You must follow some usenet groups other than rec.boats, because
carrying a thumb drive to be able to read this one from any windoze
machine seems a waste of time and effort, considering the lack of
content here.

Facebook, interestingly, updates itself to its users no matter what
machine they are on. If I visit with my iMac and then the next day visit
with my tablet, my stuff to read is just where I left it after I logged
out with the iMac...the old stuff I've already read is way down at the
bottom of the list. Of course, no one really gives a damn about usenet
anymore, so development ceased ages ago.
