[gopher] ANNOUNCE: New Web Portal for USENET

[mel]

Looks cool and works for people like me who like a simple user interface
without all the clutter of Google or regular websites. Plus I know of no
usenet newsreaders for both MacOS or Chromebook, platforms that I commonly
use. Plus I think this will work on my Android phone and my aging Nintendo
DSi which I use for text browsing websites like Floodgap Gopher and SDF
Gopher, etc.
