Why Is Dis Happining?
"Adam" Wen Comcats wuz gonna git rid uff dis groop, we got a pressie of a individual account wich wuz nise, n furry enexpinsive. Meowmie haytes Google groop n wuz reddy tew gib up duh newzgroopz iffen hur had tew go fru Google. 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). Adam I love individual, myself Thanx for the info.

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.... -- Purrs, Mme.
