Sure you do. HTML gets scraped way more than NNTP does.

Name a popular OS that doesn't come with a newsgroup reader preinstalled.
Note that what you're saying is "any machine you're likely to use already
has a web browser installed on it." That doesn't mean you don't have to
install it. It's just already been done, much to the wailing and gnashing of
teeth of those who dislike IE.

Usenet was the predecessor to NNTP from before TCP/IP.

You can't post through Gname, only read.

Really? Because I participate in a number of lists through gmane and I
participate by posting there. And I get responses....
Arguably, that might be something the list moderator can set, but it
seems all that you need to do is subscribe to the list (some lists are
subscriber only) and then post to the newsgroup using the e-mail address
you subscribed with. That *should* work in every case.
