Life is short. |

Life is short. Hey Mary (and Marcia): Eh, he's been netkopped so many times, I think he just continuously changes his ID daily so that Yahoo and Google can't keep up. On another group, some guy had posted "purported" Google email saying they were attempting to find a way to block this particular person, but it could be a while (if it was even a real email, but that's about the time the guy started changing his ID frequently). He doesn't even read what others may post in response, so ignoring is the way to go, yeah, it's hard to do on Google, but fortunately he creates those huges subject lines, so I just skip over him.

Well, once I figure out what the heck I'm doing (and knowing me, that could take some time doncha know?), I'd be very grateful. Part of my problem is that I can't seem to get a clue about how the newsreaders "work", are they something like OE or are they web based (go to a website and sign on)? Are there options, if it's like OE, to tell it *not* to automatically open attachments? I think I would like the option to kill-file, not that I would, in some groups the kooks are the only reason to keep reading (since I find them quite humorous). Of course, Mr. Godsquad (I do like that) would find a nice comfy spot in a trash bin, I'm sure. Smokie Darling (Annie) |

Part of my problem is that I can't seem to get a clue about how the newsreaders "work", are they something like OE or are they web based (go to a website and sign on)? Are there options, if it's like OE, to tell it *not* to automatically open attachments? I can help you because I use OE too. Once you follow the instructions below the server will conform to all the rules you already have set in OE. I checked the free servers I know and currently many are offering free reading, but none are offering free posting to rec.pets.health+behav. So I found a good alternative for you that costs a one-time fee of $3.95. I have used this server for years, though I use others too. Go he http://www.teranews.com/ Here you may click on "create account" and for a one-time $3.95 "set-up fee" have access to Teranews forever. No monthly fees ever, and you can read binary groups such as alt.binaries.pictures.animals. Just follow the instructions, making sure to choose the $3.95 one-time account. I think I would like the option to kill-file, not that I would, in some groups the kooks are the only reason to keep reading (since I find them quite humorous). Of course, Mr. Godsquad (I do like that) would find a nice comfy spot in a trash bin, I'm sure. Once Teranews emails you your activation code, you go into O.E. (your mail screen) and click on Tools/Accounts/News/Add/News and follow the instructions, entering the screen name you want to post under, the email you want to post with, and the free Teranews server name, in the appropriate boxes. The server name for the free accounts is free.teranews.com. If you have any trouble, let me know. Once you go through this process and pay your little $3.95, you can then click on any post and just hit delete and it is out of your life forever. That is what I do instead of killfiling. But of course you can also use OE's message filters. |
