I know you are not exactly the sharpest tool in the box, but have you still
not figured out that Outlook and Outlook Express are two completely
different programs yet?

Are you really asking what it seems you are asking? Are you really more
stupid than the incredibly dopey person I have always thought you were?

Thanks for the info. These cost money. Google is free. Are there any ways
to access the usenet groups free? How about newsreaders? Can they access
the microsoft forums through Google?

Hey moron, that was a typo. I meant Outlook Express not Outlook.
Sorry that I don't have much experience with usenet and the programs that
are associated with them. So, if I ask you questions about other technical
products or services and you don't know the answer, does that mean you are
stupid?

Maybe it does mean you are stupid.

So next time I will post a technical question and see how stupid you are

It's only worth paying for those if you are interested in binary newsgroups,
for waréz and pórn. There are also free newsservers that he could use, like
www.aioe.org, or TeraNews, which requires a very small one-off payment.

You cannot expect to use an HTTP website on a NTTP newsreader, DUH.

All that Google does is archive newsgroups, since they bought out the
DejaNews archivers, and Google then added the ability to post through the
website.

Bill, there is any number of free newsreaders, outhouse distress,
Thunderbird, forte free agent, and others. You can access Microsoft
public newsgroups through msnews servers for free. You also might be
interested in checking out Tera news free news server.
