No , no !
The main advantage of krn over other news readers is just that
you don't need to set up a news server on your computer, it
just downloads headers of articles, you mark the ones you
are interested in, and then downloads the body of ONLY those
marked messages. This is impossible to do with a news server, =

with it you would have to download the body of ALL the messages.

Yes, but it's not necessary
