Betsy, I wouldn't avoid the newsgroups -- there's lots of good stuff here and you started a good discussion, just don't use your primary email address for your news account. You can change the email address for your news account (like I do) to something like betsynopsamlid.invalid. You are using Internet Explorer 6.0 so all you need to do is click Tools on the top of the window, click Accounts, select yor news account, click Properties, then select and change your email address. Click OK then Close to save your change. This will only change your news account not your regular email account. Another option is to create a free email account someplace like yahoo.com or netscape.com and use that for news. You can check them now and then for a possibly important message but the spam won't fill your regular mail box. Good Saabin' to ya!
