You will then start slrn for the first time:
slrn --create /home/.

Seen Cream for gvim?

Very nice 'plugin'. I think you'll like it.

Cool, use this name in the above noted configuration.

Fewer than what? There is a macro for one key scoring that requires som
upfront config, its easy enough to use.
http://slrn.sourceforge.net/macros/index.html
Besides that, hitting k on an article will ask a few questions and then
add the score. You can tweak as necessary.
Grabbing the full thread in slrn, if you have leafnode is simple if you
need context. Having said that, there is the ability to make a thread
sticky between sessions using stickytags:

Yeah, there are more important things in life than money, but they won't go
out with you if you don't have any.
