If her runs newsreader program (mine Paw likes Seamonkey or Thunderbird)
den when her runs da program da messages will automagically go into news
folders, one folder per newsgroup. It's really easy to run, an a lot
easier dan Gargle Grunts.

News.individual.net is a news server in Germany dat costs somefing like
$10 or $15 a year. Dey isn't free but dey is furry good. A lot of the
spam floods dat you see wif offur newsgroup providers get filtered out
befur you ever sees dem.

For a news-server, I find the free ones to get flaky and go down
often; here's one for $5.00 a year - I've been using it for years
wothout a problem: http://news.datemas.de/

For a newsreader, I use and recommend Dialog (it has a great
killfile!): http://news.datemas.de/ once you download it, go to "Help"
and the "Quickstart" for a built-in tutorial that walks you through
the setup.

Dat is a "feature" of Google Groups. I'z not aware of any way to

an set it up to fetch e-mail from place like motzarella (a free

I don't think so. It's been a while since I set it up and I don't
really remember.
Not hard, I have been there today and you read their terms of use and
then click the register"online" link. Type in the info and then you
have to configure your News client on your own machine to fetch news
from the account and send it there. I don't know your client, so I
can't help much there. Except to tell you that somewhere you tell it
to go to news.motzarella.org and use port 119 I think.

Google groop n wuz reddy tew gib up duh newzgroopz iffen hur had tew go

Technical note: There's no need for anyone to struggle with Google Groups
for posting. There are decent inexpensive and even free news servers for
text groups, especially "Big 8" groups like this one, and there's a choice
of newsreaders for every operating system I know of.

My current choices are Motzarella as a news server for text groups (free),
and Seamonkey as a newsreader (free for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux).

Thanx for the info.

What's the difference between a news server and a news reader?

What's the difference between a news server and a news reader?

Julie

A news server is a very large remote computer, usually running UNIX,
that collects posts from all over the universe and sorts and orders
them in the appropriate news groups. It then stores them for a finite
period of time, and "serves" them up to whomever wants to read them.
Some are owned by universities, others by ISPs and others are
independently run, and charge you for access to them. This concept is
called "Usenet" and news servers and browsers communicate with each
other using a communications protocol called NNTP.

One accesses a news server with a news reader, which is a software
program that is on *your* home computer that connects to the server
and retrieves the messages that you tell it to. News Readers have the
ability to filter messages and then display them to *your* own
choosing as well as delete certain posts as instructed to by your
killfile. A good news reader offers multiple display formats and
settings (e.g by date, by thread and date, by poster etc; and it can
color the headers in posts as per your instructions) so that you can
view each newsgroup as you wish. Good news readers offer *many* more
options than this (Dialog can execute scripts, for example) but I
won't get into them.

One can also view newsgroups in a browser with "extensions"
(Thunderbird, Outlook Express etc), but they are limited in their
abilities and functions and are using HTML for viewing - a different
visual experience; or you can use a regular browser to visit Google
Groups but that *really* detracts from the Usenet experience.

Hope I didn't bore you to death....
