How do you tell eternal-september.org that you want to see
rec.aviation.soaring, I don't see anything like that when I get to
their list.

In short, you don't tell Eternal-September what groups you want, you tell
the news reader program that probably already lives in your computer.

First, set up an account at Eternal-September. That gets you a password
and free access to their NNTP server On their site you will find
instructions for configuring your news reader. (If you have a windoze
machine, that means Outlook Express.)

Having done that, you will download a list of Usenet groups from Eternal
September into your news reader. Then simply choose rec-aviation-soaring
plus any other groups you may want.

I was unable, using Thunderbird, to subscribe at Eternal-September because
my regular password does not meet their requirements. Not wanting to change
all my email server settings, I just started up Windoze Email that came with
Vista and subscribed that way. Thanks for the pointers - this looks like it
might be more useable than google once I get used to it.
