Playing Russian Roulette on gliderpilot.net
Hi,
It works like this. You spend a long time writing a learned technical, instructional, or witty piece, and then try to post it onto gliderpilot.net. The 'fun' comes from seeing whether it will be accepted, or disappear into a black hole somewhere in the electronic ether! I have learned the hard way to make copies on Wordpad, so at least I can try again. Any chance of a fix for this black hole Andy? Del C |

Gliderpilot.net is a web piggyback on ras, as is Google Groups. If you have Usenet access via your ISP (check their FAQ page) it's a much easier way to access all kinds of groups. Shawn |

"Uras" (gliderpilot.net) isn't a newsgroup, it's a website and email server styled to look like one. The only true soaring Usenet newsgroup is RAS. I'm not really sure why anyone bothers with uras as it's mind- crushingly slow but, hey, it's up to them. Dan |
