You probably don't care. You may not remember me. I've been hanging
around for years and post when I have something to say. I'm not
loquacious.
My effing (strong language for me!) ISP no longer supports newsgroups
so I cannot use my usual newsgroup program (Free Agent) to read this
group. Google groups isn't very friendly. I don't plan to change my ISP
so don't bother suggesting it. I will be an even more occasional poster
in future.
Sorry if you ask me questions and I seem to ignore you. I will try to
work around this problem. I don't want to post my email address and get
lots of spam. However I'll reveal it to those who genuinely want to
know it.

There are several news group suppliers out there...Like Supernews that
will supply your needs. A quick google search will find one that you'd
like and in most any price range except free.

If you can access the Internet, you can access a free newsserver. There
are plenty to choose from.....

I've been using them for several years because my ISP's news server service
sucked, they'd be off more than on, not have all the groups I wanted, and I
don't mean the binary groups, ect. They launched a referal program a few
months ago, so I signed up, since I'd been refering people anyway, it'll
give me a free month if you use my referal link :)

You don't have to change your ISP...
Do what I did and purchase Giganews. The account is only costing me
$12.50 per month and I'm still able to use my favorite newsreader. :-)
You can get used to googlegroups, I had to use it for a month or so
until I decided to buy giganews.
Hope this helps? :-)
