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

Click on the Online link (in the notes about registering) and that'll take

Register and you'll get an email to confirm that you're human(!).
Then just use
news.eternal-september.org
as your newsserver

June 2, 8.00 am and everything running normal.
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.
