   I once had to change the javascript source to get the news program to do   
   something that IREX did. I did not submit it upstream because I did not know   
   how at the time.  I also didn't now how to code javascript but was able to   
   figure it out.   
      
   Although I never quite got it working, I was also working on a mod that   
   would help me not pull thousands of messages from the server when the news   
   service my ISP had contracted out to mysteriously reset their message   
   pointers.  That was common enough to cause problems.   
      
   If the source was closed, I would not have had the source to the news   
   program to (try to) make either change.   
      
   My ISP stopped offering a news server years ago, so the code (and the   
   numbering issue) became obsolete.
