Default Top posting in MS Newsgroups

Point of interest: In the five newsgroups I read and post to, only in
this one did google use my email name "grammatim" instead of my name
"Peter T. Daniels" in the thread listing at the left side of the
screen. But starting yesterday or the day before, it is using
"grammatim" in at least one other of my groups, and I certainly didn't
change anything.

That makes sense. Can't say I blame him for not wanting to use more than one
newsreader. :-)

But grammatim has previously stated his preference for Google Groups as a
means of reading widely across Usenet; although he could connect directly
to msnews, I believe his ISP doesn't offer a news server on which he could
read the other groups, so he prefers to read them all in the same
interface.

(As for the can of worms, I don't use Outlook (Express).)


If you are referring to using it for email, I don't either. :-) I use
Outlook. You can add the ability to post to the newsgroups within Outlook
without the need to actually set it up for sending/receiving email. All
you need to do is add the News button, found in the Go category of the
Customize dialog box. Of course if you don't use Outlook then this isn't
applicable.


I don't think I could use Google Groups for the newsgroups. There's no
need to view "pages" of posts in OE or Windows Live Mail, you can easily
set your view to "Show replies to my messages", mark threads for
watching, and most important to me, it keeps track of what you've read
and not read. But I guess which one works the best is more a matter of
what you get used to. :-)
