Does your ISP provide a news server?

I don't know, I'll have to look into it. You have to remember, I'm one
of those "old guys" - computers weren't around untill after I was
already over the hill ;-)

Most will allow you to
filter posts based on keywords, email addresses, or user names. You can
also set many newsreaders to ignore certain threads or ignore
crossposts. Having good filters really helps some days. ...

That would be great - my ISP is SBC/DSL yahoo. Now to find out if they
provide a news server.............. Frank
