Also Dave, The setting of a false addy, not sure how it's done, I
get help & don't write it down. This stops a tremendous amount of
junk mail. Ever notice if you sign up for a new NewsGroup you start
getting more junk mail.

Kathy, I'll do that. I'm no expert though. It's just that when I
mention newsgroups at our society meetings I get lots of blank looks,
with a few who nod understandingly. So I felt someone had to bite
the bullet. Specially since most of them know far more about orchids
than I (*not* false modesty), and a couple of them could be really
helpful here on Aussie orchids if they chose to be involved. (Oops -
I'm thinking of ANOS eligible plants especially, and the
epiphytes/lithophytes in particular. I just realised what a slight
the previous remark was to some of our Aussie contributors from down
south.)

The article will be pretty basic - what usenet is & how it works from
the user perspective; what's involved in selecting & accessing
newsgroups; what's involved in setting up a "typical" newsreader - if
there's any such thing; a bit on netiquette.

I'm planning to write an article on the orchid newsgroups, &
usenet in general,
for our society newsletter. What newsreaders do you all like?

quirks--for instance, it has made the header list for this group
