Doesn't your ISP offer newsgroup access?

Oh heck no. Not out here in BF Egypt.

Oh it probably does, butThe guy that owns the ISP is a farmer, and I
maintain his eguipment. So technically i get it free, but not free.
Well, lets say, it's "payent in kind". and he doesn't have a huge set
up anyhow. He does offer high speed 'net service at below the normal
rates to his customers, but it's bare bones stuff. a'la carte. you
want it you get it. But there's plenty of anti virus stuff out there
for nothing as well,a nd even though I don't hardly use AOL anymore
I'm on their "free edition" because I'm going though a seperate
provider (I'm suprised they haven't tanked already). I do get some
additional protection using their anti-bug stuff rovided w/AOL, and
there's a bunch of other independant anti-bug stuff out there too!

So, I don't want to say I'm "cheap" but seeing I don't really use the
'net for business, If I can save a buck, I'll do it.

That's not cheap - that's miserly. :)

With all that "free" stuff, you'd think you could at least get a
decent news server.

Hell, there are free servers out there - use one of them. This is one
of the better ones - it's the descendant of the old Berlin news
server.

Here's a list.

Google sucks.

Not that it matters to you, but some are filtering gmail to keep from
seeing all the spam that emanates from there.
Sort of like a spam bozo bin.
Only reason I haven't done it is I might not see what you and Chuck
have to say. Unacceptable.

I check the g-bozo bin every day and hardly ever does it catch
anything of value.

Harry,
If you can't afford the gas for 20 hrs of boating in a year, it is time
to sell the boat and shoot more beer cans.
