docstring: Initialize an instance.  Arguments:
          - host: hostname to connect to
          - port: port to connect to (default the standard NNTP port)
          - user: username to authenticate with
          - password: password to use with username
          - readermode: if true, send 'mode reader' command after
                        connecting.
          - usenetrc: allow loading username and password from ~/.netrc file
                      if not specified explicitly
          - timeout: timeout (in seconds) used for socket connections
  
          readermode is sometimes necessary if you are connecting to an
          NNTP server on the local machine and intend to call
          reader-specific commands, such as `group'.  If you get
          unexpected NNTPPermanentErrors, you might need to set
          readermode.
