Blimey - I seem to have gone from no response to a deluge in an instant.
I was OK with the first couple of replies but now I'm blinded by all
the techy stuff. I will try to do the newsgroup thing, but I'm still
unclear as to why GardenBanter is so hated by some posters. Is it
because you have paid some cash to access a kosher newsgroup?

Unlike some others I am only mildly annoyed by the re use of any posts I
make, but I do find that when people are posting via garden banter its
rather like being in a room with someone on the phone ie you are only
involved in part of the conversation! Had I started here via garden
banter I like you would not have seen the problem. Although news groups
have many good points they do suffer from time to time from spam attacks
which is why I moved to a dedicated news reader so I can filter these
out. I had not realised that some isps had discontinued newsgroups.
