I'm very grateful for all the advice - but another question if I may -
is/are there any newsgroups/forums that stay more on topic. I know
what usenet is like, but as a newbie it strikes me that this ng seems
to attract far more than the usual share of OT flames & squabbles.

If you find one, let me know please!
