That said, NNTP is pretty crufty as a protocol. It has both
stateful and stateless bits. The existing clients all speak variations
of the RFC. SMTP has pretty similar problems, from what I can tell. It
doesn't have a concept of hierarchy the way NNTP (loosely) does.

What I noticed recently is that many Internet application protocols are

fundamentally file transfer protocols: I have a file on my machine, and I

want to store or access it on another machine.

NNTP

HTTP

SMTP

POP

IMAP

FTP (obviously)

Gemini

Gopher

.... and others are all fundamentally file transfer
