Thanks for taking the time to make such a nice post. Now I have
something for you: this isn't a site. You are using the web interface
to a Usenet newsgroup, which is the clunkiest way to access these
groups. Here is some information about newsgroups and how to use them.
Then your experience will be even better and more enjoyable.

There are many good newsreaders for Windows, but you can use Outlook
Express since you already have it. Here are some links to information
about newsgroups to broaden your posting pleasure!
