Default The Day After ???

HI Dave,

I did what you told Don G. to do and got the eternal-september loaded
complete with password and such.

I cannot see how to access anything to do with Excel newsgroups.

I've clicked on everything on the home page and others and I don't
understand squat about what I'm doing or what I should try to do...? Been
to FAQ's and all options clickable.

I believe I read that "you will be offered Excel Newsgroups to select
from..." but if not then you have to "trick" eternal-september into offering
them...???

Any suggestions.

Regards,
Howard

Visit:
http://www.eternal-september.org/

Click on the Online link (in the notes about registering) and that'll take
you
directly to this page:
http://www.eternal-september.org/Reg...ewsAccount.php

Register and you'll get an email to confirm that you're human(!).

Then just use
news.eternal-september.org
as your newsserver

What's happening ?
Does anyone know ??

I read and post to the MS news groups via msnews.microsoft.com. When I
logged into Thunderbird and clicked the expand ('+' button) to retrieve
new headers, I had several "news group does not exist do you want to
unsubscribe" messages. They are definitely removing groups from *their*
server.

This Excel group seems to be carried by news.eternal-september.org, so
I
will just continue from there.
