Losing access to newsgroup
AT&T posted a message yesterday that they would no longer be supporting
Usenet groups I know there are alternate ways to access the newsgroup - Google being one of them. Can anyone post how they are able to read & post to the newsgroup that is a cleaner route than going thru Google? Pauline Northern California |

Losing access to newsgroup
Are you actually losing your newsgroups or is this some of the spam that
has been going around. I have seen the heading message on almost all of my newsgroups. Unless you get the message from AT&T itself, I wouldn't worry too much right away.

Pauline Northern California If you are really losing ATT access to newsgroups, there are some free services (Motzarella, Aioe, to name a couple) that will allow you to access RCTQ. If you need a group that isn't part of their service, Supernews is good and not expensive. -- Sandy in Henderson, near Las Vegas sw.foster1 (at) gmail (dot) com (remove/change the obvious) http://www.sandymike.net |

I use news.individual.net - costs me $14.11 a year and is very reliable. I
know several other people on rctq use it too, that's how I found out about it.

Losing access to newsgroup
I keep thinking I must be dense or something, but using Google is
absolutely the easiest way of reading and responding to the posts in this list. On the side of the page is a list of all the posts with new responses. That lets me keep track of older posts that are still active. A quick glance shows me the poster, the subject and how many people have jumped into the stew. I have several other news groups that I absolutely hate because of the clunky nature of the interface. Wish they were all Google groups. Sunny |

Wish they were all Google groups. Sunny I agree. I have used Google for years. I have heard others complain about it and laud their own choices. The only times I have disliked using other browsers for access, is when I was using other than my own computers. I guess it is just a case of what you get used to. John |

Google doesn't allow access to binary newsgroups. Therefore, I stay with
news.indivicual.net. Donna in SW Idaho |

I use the reader at news.motzarella.org It downloads right in my
