I love groups, but there are a few things every | | newbie should know. Although you find some moderated | | groups, bear in mind that most are uncensored, and you | | _will_ find offensive material in the most unusual places, | | especially if you subscribe to some binary groups. Also, be | | careful of publishing your e-mail address when posting to a | | group, as you will get spammed to death afterwards. | | Generally though, newsgroups are a great source of | | information. | | | | You can use Outlook Express to view newsgroups, but it's | | frowned on in many communities...better to use a program | | like Forte Agent...free version available at: | | | | http://www.forteinc.com/agent/index.php | | | | There are many other programs...Keyboard Cowboy has | | recommended a few in the past. | | | | There are several different genealogy groups under | | 'soc.genealogy'. Happy hunting. | | | | Also, below is a very helpful FAQ page for newsgroup users: | | | | http://www.plig.net/nnq/nnqlinks.html | | | | | | Faustus | | | | | | To unsub or change your email settings: | | //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk | | | | To access our Archives: | | http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ | | //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ | | | | For more info: | | //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/list?list_id=3D3Dpctechtalk | | | | | | To unsub or change your email settings: | | //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk | | | | To access our Archives: | | http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ | | //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ | | | | For more info: | | //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/list?list_id=3Dpctechtalk | | | | To unsub or change your email settings: | //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk | | To access our Archives: | http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ | //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ | | For more info: | //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/list?list_id=3Dpctechtalk To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ For more info: //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/list?list_id=pctechtalk
