Now I'm trying to follow your advice and have succeeded in registering in NNTP, in the Forum "Answers.NNTP Bridge"..... I got to microsoft.connect.nntpbridgediscussion and read some of the postings. I figured that would be a good starting point. I didn't find a way to post my own query and as I write this, I don't even know how to get back where I was. I suppose I could grope around and maybe find it, but I'd sure like an icon on my desktop, or a listing in my Mozilla servers from which entries like msnews.microsoft.com are going to disappear. I'm sure I'm not the only lost traveler who needs a helping hand to cross over the bridge.
