Back Again ....

It was indeed my newsreader that was corrupt. I will fix it.

SORRY about the posting. I of all people should have done greater
diagnosing. So please ignore this header. I have a feeling many ignore
my postings anyway, they are the smart ones

Enjoy Life ... Dan


Dan,

It might be worthwhile to others to say (if you can find out) what
happened to your newsreader.

Some newsreaders are not very safe to use any longer on the net because
they have security holes that aren't being patched (and this is a
constant battle with hackers and malware spammers).

One that I can highly recommend is the Thunderbird (make sure that you
get the latest version) mail/newsreader package. The companion browser
to use with it is Firefox (version 3). Firefox provides better security
than Microsoft's Internet Explorer. No matter which mail/newsreader and
browser you use make sure that you have a good virus/security package
and keep it up to date.


It was not the NewsReader, it was me. During my change over from comcast
to Motzarrel, I played around with several ID's to make sure I would
like the service. I did not rebuild the Full-Group list. After
rebuilding the list and got rid of the extra ID's. Things turned out ok.
I am using a Mac with NewsWatcher. The corruption I believe was my
stupidity.

Another factor was (still is) a bad tooth infection and Vicodin's and
Antibiotic's also played a part. Monday is drill baby drill.

Enjoy Life ... Dan
