Exactly!

Even HN (one of the best web forums, IMO), is still clunky compared to usenet. Usenet made it so easy and efficient to follow topics you were interested in while ignoring the crap.

I think I'd be willing to give up the ability to upvote comments/submissions in exchange for a good usenet interface to HN.

Given that this is HN. I wonder how long before someone implements something like that for fun.
