Ah, that explains a lot. I hadn't realised Andy was a Google Grouper. At
least I think he realises how newsgroups work, unlike a lot of GGers we
get on a genealogy newsgroup I take!

Andy: would you consider using a different way of accessing newsgroups?
I'd recommend Thunderbird (free) as the software - not necessarily the
best, but good enough and I think having the widest support base - and
one of the free newsservers for most 'groups like this one (with of
course the Mozilla server for the ones including
mozilla.support.firefox, which is a support 'group for Firefox users
(not really run by Mozilla, though it is moderated).

Doing so would allow you access to 'groups you can't get via GG.
