Super thanks for the info. I am with a real cheapo Florida ISP that is so cheap ..... that it has no newsserver. So I have to scrounge around sometimes. I post via google or the berlin newserver. But I don't post (to usenet) as much on politics as I used to since we have FR.
For computer questions I go to usenet. I like the newsgroups on motherboards, AMD processors, and overclocking. Tons of helpful geeks out there on usenet computer newsgroups.
