Hi Bob...

Newsgroups are open forums... anyone can stop in and say anything.

Some people use the anonimity to vent. There is a great deal of
wonderful information to be gained from newsgroups, but you have to have
a somewhat thick skin at times.

As for the recent webtv post that was picked upon... I did notice that
the poster asked for emailed responses. That is not how newsgroups
work and had he/she spent a moment or two reading the group they would
have quickly understood the etiquette.

In any case. Welcome! I hope you don't have to join us ; )

Jennifer

Thank you for your time and comments.
I've copied and saved them.

Now I'll go check out the two newsgroups I've seen mentioned throughout the
posts.

One thing I'd like to address which you did not mention but I've seen in
some posts he
Why the 'ragging' on WebTV people?
I have a pc, but many can't adapt to one.

Some came here looking for advice and were told to go buy a computer!

Once you buy a pc, you'll be ragged on if you have a Mac, or use Windows.

Just found it irritating that some were disrespected 'cause they use WebTV.
