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.

Get an account at the German news server http://www.individual.net
It used to be free; now it cost 10 EUR per year. My ISP has a news
server but I like individual.net better.

Best regards,
Bob

Me, too. I've used this news server for many years now, even after it
started to charge a very reasonable fee of EU$10/year (approx.
US$12.50/year) in April 2005. It's very well worth the modest fee
(quite reasonable, IMNSHO). In addition, if one emails with the
administrators of this particular news server, it will acquire
newsgroups it doesn't already list when requested. I've done this a few
times to get access to a few newsgroups I learned about through various
websites. One thing to note, the German news server does not include or
access any binary newsgroup.
