....not that there's many who use newsgroups..

AOL are discontinuing newsgroup access.
May I mention that there are free news servers around, namely
www.usnetzone.com and
http://www.individual.net/
You need to sign up with them and get a login name and passwod and then
access your normal groups as usual.
I don't know how you access them locally (VIA AOL) , but these need to be
accessed via a newsreader such as Microsoft Outlook Express or
Mozilla/Thunderbird or any number of free servers available via google
