Nothing personal, but if you are posting through Google Groups I may not receive
your message. Google refuses to control the flood of spam messages originating
in their system, so on any given day I may or may not have Google blocked. Try
a real NNTP server & news reader program and you will never go back. All you
need is access to an NNTP server (AKA "news server") and a news reader program.
You probably already have a news reader program in your computer (Hint: Outlook
Express). Assuming that your Usenet needs are modest, use
http://news.aioe.org/ and/or http://www.motzarella.org/ for free, and/or
http://www.teranews.com/ for a one-time $3.95 setup fee. Newsguy,
http://www.newsguy.com/ offers a variety of reasonably priced services. If you
wish to experiment with real Usenet access, they will give you a free 2-day
trial account.

Flyers,

My ISP (comcast) just discontinued it's usenet service. How do most
of you get on the newsgroups if your ISP does not provide newsgroup
service? I am now in Google Groups using internet explorer. It's
really clunky compared to using Outlook Express.

The threads are not held together and I can't filter those I don't
want to see posts from. Can anyone help me?
