News - Please help me!

Guys, I'm desperate! I can't get a news feed any more, and the web based readers are really difficult to use, because you always see all the posts. I really don't think I can live without RAS! Are there any email based, or smartgroups type lists I can join? My interests are GPL, GP3, news on stuff like WSC, etc. Please cc my email: richard dot beckett at motorola dot com. Thanks. R.

Consider paying for a 3rd party news feed. You can get a really good one for $9.95 per month at www.uncensored-news.com

I used newsguy.com until getting the @home account. They have two or three different pricing plans, offer several extras if you want them, have a decent newsreader, a pretty good spam filter, and they keep posts archived a long time. I recommend them highly based on my experience. Jerry Morelock

Yea get an @home account and you will be fine!! :-) "beckettr" wrote:

Thanks guys. I got a few pointers now. Give me a week or so, and I'll be the man to ask if it ever happens to you or your friends. R. -- Posted from ftpbox.mot.com [129.188.136.101] via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG

Thanks. I have one problem with that, though - I'm behind a firewall at work, so I need to use a web based service. If you've ever tried stuff like google, you'll know how inappropriate they are for general news reading. There must be a web based service out there that you can have an account on and works like a normal newsreader program, allowing you to mark uninteresting threads as read, and not show them (and all previously read stuff) the next time you read, etc. I've not found one yet, though.
