What did you join?

Oh, s/he's just a clueless (as evidence by use of ALL CAPS) resident
of Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, or Ohio who believes s/he has joined
a Google group. Because GoogleGroups doesn't explain that Usenet
newsgroups are different from those newsgroups created on
GoogleGroups, it's understandable that s/he used the term 'joined'
instead of 'subscribed,' because that the term used by GoogleGroups.

I use Google Groups, as since I switched to the Mac I still miss
Outlook Express's newsreader (terrible, I know) and haven't found a
newsreader to my tastes yet, but Google Groups is fast becoming
useless for posting anything - I often have to try 5 or 6 times to
post, each time it waits an eternity then times out, and after 5 or 6
attempts it just gives up and grays out the Send button. Grrr... Any
Mac people on here can suggest a good newsreader for me??

Isn't there a Thunderbird for Mac. It is VERY much like OE

Yes there is. It works. I use it only on my Windows machine as I do not
use any MS products other than Media Center.

I use MT Newswatcher on my Macs for usenet.- Hide quoted text -
