You are a lovely, lovely raconteur, lavishly laden with brains
and facial gorgeousness. Rather remarkable are your releases of
Roderick and Roger.
Do you know six Sythian archers, Dale? |

The theists think that thought is threatening to them.

In order to avoid said Fudd script. This is known as 'nymshifting', and
should ensure that Dale has wibbled his last round these parts.

Didn't work, did it? |

Net News Transfer Protocol, as I see others have told you. Judging
from the headers on your message, you're on Earthlink, is that right?
If so, check their Customer Help pages and search for information
on "newsgroups" or "news server". I'm sure they have news servers.
In fact, here's their help page:
http://kb.earthlink.net/case.asp?article=4459 - they have two news
servers, one east and one west, and all Earthlink susbcribers have
access to both of them.
So next you should choose a newsreader and install it. Google for
Windows newsreader, or just go to
http://www.newsreaders.com/win/clients.html .
Do not use Outlook Express. Use Forte Free Agent or Thunderbird
or Pan or anything else that strikes your fancy as long as it doesn't
have "Outlook" in its name. Using Outlook or Outlook Express will
cause your monitor to explode and fill the house with foul-smelling
greenish-yellow poisonous gas. Once you've installed a newsreader,
you have to set it up pretty much the way you set up a mailreader
to use Earthlink email (you must have gone through that process).
Somewhere on some menu there will be a "setup" option, and you
click that and it will bring up a page where you enter the news
server name (news.earthlink.east.net or news.earthlink.west.net)
and your Earthlink username and password. When you've done that,
the reader will connect to the server and download a list of
newsgroups - this may take a long time - and then you will want
to poke around and figure out how to subscribe to talk.origins,
and do that. "Subscribing" is really just telling the newsreader
program that you're interested in following a particular group,
but it makes your life a lot easier because you can work with
a short list of subscribed groups instead of the list of all
the groups your server carries; there may be thousands of
groups on your server.
It's really pretty easy, and it lets you plonk people, plus it
lets you feel (rightly) superior to all those clueless noobs
who use Google Groups.
If I've misread your headers and you're not on Earthlink,
the idea is still the same: check your ISP's Help pages and
see whether they provide a news server, and if they do, proceed
as above. If they don't, report back and we'll talk about
finding a real news server elsewhere.

A bit like the Christian use of "outreach"...

Pardon my ignorance, but I can't begin to fathom what that means.
Are you using Firefox? If so, then you may be interested in the
mail/newsreader Thunderbird, also by Mozilla. If you are using a
mail client like Internet Exploder or Thunderbird or Seamonkey or
similar, you already have a newsreader that is better than Google
Groups, and is pretty easy to set up.
There are any number of other free-standing news readers, such as
Agent (an advertising-supported version of which is available for
free), Gravity, (I just blanked on others). Those generally have
a lot of bells and whistles that serious Usenetters find
wonderful, but most users don't need.
I was having trouble reading and posting to talk.origins with
Thunderbird for a while, and had to use Google Groups. That
wasn't horrible, but I do like an nntp-based (think POP 3 mail)
newsreader better; and of course, Internet Exploder is from the
Satanic Microsoft, so...
|
Thanks to Tom, Dick (are you... ?), Lee and John for their responses.
I don't have the time right now to look into these suggestions, but I
will definitely look at them as soon as I get the chance. |

Ray has broken the rules in the past-- for example, once he started
spamming the same article over and over. When several users pointed out
that it was laughably obvious that he was angling for a ban so he
wouldn't have to deliver on his promises, he promptly stopped.
Unfortunately for Ray, it's not easy to earn a ban from t.o.
Nym-shifting and spamming are too obvious, and the usual frothing
insults and invective that win his bans from other discussion fora don't
work here.

Ah, I didn't know about the spamming incident. Interesting. I think I
can see several ways he might earn his desired ban, but I'm not going
to tell him what they are  |
