My server is good, my filters even better. I have tried reading and
posting from Google, and it's a total nightmare.

I don't think that a lot of people realize that google is not a group
site, but an archive for groups. you have to wade through so much
"crap." I hate it when I have to use a public computer to see what's
happening here.
If people who complain about all the spam would spend a little time
researching and finding a good news server and learn to use kill files
or filters they would be a lot happier. I know I'm pretty much preaching
to the choir here. Let's face it you wouldn't use a sewing machine with
out learning something about it first, why not your computer.
Usenet is a valuable tool and should be continued. If everyone went to
moderated groups, usenet would die. I love the free flow of "talk" on
this group. I do belong to a couple of moderated groups, one I use is
fine the others tend to get neglected by me. I don't particularly like
the idea of a closed group. I think it reflects my feelings about closed
societies in general. I want to do my own controlling of information I get.

Hear! Hear! We would have made lousy Victorian women, wouldn't we?
We'll be the judge of that...and that....and that! Obedience isn't in
our character, and we can make our own errors of judgment,
thankyouverymuch, because we are as capable of deciding as anyone. We
are, each of us, The Decider. ;-)

Grand isn't it!! My being my own decider has gotten me into trouble a
few times. It was so much fun. Loved every minute of it.

It was ... and is! When I retire to my rocking chair on the porch in
the sun to end my days, my caretakers might wonder why I am giggling so
much. Let 'em wonder!!!
