Sorry, off topic but I don't want google as my newsgroup server. Used
to be in days gone by, I could just click on a newsgroup and subscribe. Google has way too much spam and I really don't like the format! e. |

Guess there's still some bitchy people here at rec. cooking. Appreciate the advice of the other posters. I registered with motzerella - almost close enough to mozzarella. That's my food reference for this post! e. |

Steve gets grumpy about stuff. I do too, but pretty much only about cooking or politics, and I don't start political threads. I finish them. It's all OK. --Bryan |

I use newsguy. > Info is athttp://www.newsguy.com I don't understand the problem. Years ago I used a couple of different stand-alone readers, but when I got this new used machine a few years back they weren't installed and before I went looking for something to download, tried google. Works just fine for me. This is the onlly group I visit with any freqency. Having trouble finding something to chat with, though. mb |

Most servers (perhaps all now) don't offer the option of Newsgroups anymore - took me a long time to figure that out! I missed being able to access this cooking ng and didn't realize that I had more options than Google. e. |

Mine does. I don't know if Earthlink still does; they used to. News servers aren't especially hard to come by. news.individual.net is great and pretty darned inexpensive; it doesn't carry binary groups, though. -- -Barb, Mother Superior, HOSSSPoJ http://web.me.com/barbschaller - good news 4-6-2009 "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle." -Philo of Alexandria |

Years ago used to use Homer and IRCle. Maybe I can remember how it works and learn how it has changed before the next time somone calls an rfc chat. You might read me. OB Food - braised chicken breast (who brought that in here?) w/ usual assortment of veg, boiled potatoes, batch of turnip greens. Good but not interesting. Got some cow liver on the menu tomorrow.

I can second that. NIN is very reliable and does a good job of spam control. It is low-cost, although some people find the setup for paying to be a bother. > You will need a newsreader, too.

You should at least read the GNKSA report and see what deficiencies a newsreader has. Brian -- Day 106 of the "no grouchy usenet posts" project |
