You didn't find MacSOUP, the best of the lot by far? Feh!

Who would want to be without the true graphical thread tree
representation, with an easy and transparent navigation in it (matched
only by Hogwasher which copied it from MacSOUP)? Among the *nix
newsreaders only knews comes close but requires humongous amounts of
screen real estate to be usable. gnus is worse in this respect and
requires still more screen space.

No, it doesn't - see the top of your post, quoted above.
