nnrp conf

[Noel Butler]

Ouch.. 'n yes it is confusing for those not involved in its coding and
development, I kind of echoed your gripe some time ago, comparing it to
dnews access which is pretty much identical to what you've shown - I was
ignored on that aspect, I didnt realise that once it was plain as day
with inn as well, why the hell you'd go from something so clear to a
muddy watered mess I'll never know either. 

and I'll +1 your request, not that it'll do much good I feel going by
past comments on other things.
