usenet reader for /prog/

usenet is pretty much dead now as far as a discussian medium because most newsgroups are unmoderated and spammed constantly, so most people use private forums.

So my question is, would it be possible to load ALL /prog/ threads into a usenet newsreader? Instead of waiting for /prog/ to become moderated this would allow anyone to self moderate by deleting threads on their private version of /prog/. This also could be dont in html, just run the html source of this page on your own saved version of /prog/. Someone could also host their version of /prog/ and only allow private access by invitation. Just a thought.

I have a simple problem. I'm trying to add the values of an ArrayList. I should be able to, but it won't let me treat the ArrayList as an integer. I'm forced to make it a string, because I also need to use it as a string.

    ArrayList <String> numbers = new ArrayList();
    int sum = 0;
   
private void addButtonActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
        String temp;
        temp = inputText.getText();
        numbers.add(temp);
    }

    private void removeButtonActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
        String temp;
        temp = inputText.getText();
        numbers.remove(temp);
    }

    private void sumAllButtonActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {

        for (String i : numbers) {
            //sum += i;
        outputText.setText("The total of the entries is: " + sum + numbers);
        }
