It works with Lynx. I don't know what is the problem with Thunderbird, but I added an article in case it doesn't work for newsgroups that do not already have an article. If you are getting a specific error message, what it is?

Nearly a week and no reply. I do not understand your motivations here: inventing new Internet protocols, apparently intentionally misusing terminology, etc. ("I set up a NNTP" makes no more sense than "here, try to connect over brown": NNTP is a protocol and the normal usage is to set up a news server over which one communicates via a news client over NNTP.) Maybe this is meant to be funny, or sarcastic/ironic, or performance art, or something else; I can't tell. What it is not is helpful, informative, or clear.

    > It is meant to be helpful, informative, and clear. It is none of these. Please try harder. I was interested in following these links and reading about this, but your strange attitude, opaque and incomprehensibly cryptic responses, and general lack of cooperation mean that I have now lost interest. If you want to play silly games, invent your own protocols and your own unique way of misusing existing language, post "links" that only work using your own client software, and other strange lateral responses, that is of course up to you. Perhaps it is some sort of act. But do not expect everyone to like it or to be amused. I am not. I am just annoyed. I suspect most people won't even give it that much attention.

Since when does Lynx include a Usenet client?

  I don't know when that feature was added, but I know it is able to load the URL starting by "nntp:"; I tried it and it works OK.
