When I go to Outlook all I get is microsoft public access groups. It
says this group is not available. I tried google and it sent me through
Outlook and I get the same message. Any other options?

OK, you're going to need access to a REAL usenet server.

Start here...
http://freenews.maxbaud.net/

I'm too tired to do the whole shtick for you.

Step 1) find a real usenet server.

Step 2) configure your newsreader to use that server. (Prolly needs
url/address, username and password)

Step 3) use your newsreader to subscribe to this (and other) newsgroup.

You can also, sorta, read the newsgroups using
http://www.google.com/groups

Figure it out, as a webtv user it will build muscles that are good for
you...

Zzzz

Hi There,
The way I got into this group was from outlook express.
Click "tools" at the top, and from the drop down menu click "newsgroups"
A window will come up titled "newsgroup subscriptions" There is a search box
at the top of this window, type in goldfish, and this newsgroup comes into
the larger box below. then just click the "subscribe" button.
That way you can access all the postings from outlook express and post your
own messages.
Hope this helps.
