Gordon, OK, sounds good and must explain my posting problems. Could you
tell
me how to use the newsreader instead of the web interface? My apologies, I
haven't used news readers (at least I don't think so).

Did you read the links I posted?


Will it notify me by
email when I receive replies?

No, that's the only disadvantage, as opposed to the many many advantages,
over web-based forums. But you can set them (or most of them) to show
replies to your messages when you enter a particular group....
