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
