Different how?  Many of the commands defined in the base document can be 
"pipelined" (e.g. STAT, HEAD, ARTICLE, OVER), in the same fashion as 
CHECK and TAKETHIS.  The only reason for CHECK and TAKETHIS is that 
IHAVE is a two step command where it requires the client to wait for an 
initial response before sending the article, therefore it can not be 
"pipelined".  CHECK and TAKETHIS simply split the two steps into 
separate commands.

So, if you have issues with "pipelined" commands, then you have issues 
with the base NNTP spec as well as IMAP and POP3.
