I will say that on the bright side of this change over, is that it DID clear out the SPAM!

This one works well, and the price isn't bad. There are some free ones out there, I hear.

Agent, for Windows only, is an incredibly complex "reader" to use for
newsgroups. Mozilla Thunderbird is easy, allows multiple accounts, is
available for multiple platforms, and is free and has lots of online
support and add-ons.

And, BTW, although some folks find Agent to be incredibly complex, it's really pretty simple to use.

Besides, I'm only a phone call away.

I've got Forte Agent 3.0 loaded on my machine somewhere. I've heard
it can be your best friend or your worse nightmare.

Eh, It can be figured out....

I think Thunderbird is easier, more for everyday folks than Agent which
in my opinion is for more experienced readers with more complex needs.
Thunderbird is great for a couple groups and an email or two.
