The one I was thinking of appeared in the Lookout Mtn. Prospect about
20 years ago.....

Say, you've got the sig right, but doesn't your ISP afford a decent news
feed?

It'd be quicker, easier oncet ya git the hang o'it.

Maybe yes -- maybe no. At least they are not anus-dwelling trolls.

Thanks John, I've downloaded Thunderbird but haven't taken the time to
learn to use it. I'll check my ISP.

I rode up to this girl downtown once, on my bike. We conversed
for a bit and she said "Ah, a loner", and I said "Nah, I own it".

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Savageduck
saying something like:

I use a newsreader for my newsgroups, and I just subscribed to
this group a couple weeks or so ago.
Whoever has the server that I get the groups from has a very
long retention time, especially for text newsgroups, and if I recall
correctly, the first messages I was sifting through were from 2005.
There were still a lot of relevant messages from that time
though, so I've sifted through carefully to get what I can that might
benefit a camera user new to DSLRs, and fairly new to photography in
general, although I do manage to take some good shots for a local
magazine which I work for.
I don't mean to dredge up old threads, but I do occassionally
see something interesting or funny and decide to reply to it.
This will be greatly lessened now, at least on this group,
since I finally just finished getting to the last of the available
messages on it.

Did I ruin your day by replying to an old thread Grimly?
