Hello Robert and others,

I too became very unhappy with the newsreaders that were available. Several
years ago, I was introduced to a service in which you read the news groups in
your web browser. Originally, it was a free service, but it changed hands and
became a pay service. The price still isn't that high and the reading is so much
better than the newsreaders that I feel it is worth it. I use www.newsguy.com
and highly recommend them. You still don't get photographs, because
rec.crafts.woodturning is a text only newsgroup.

If you want to see others work, WoodCentral has a message board for woodturning
that has a lot of photos and much greater activity than rec.crafts.woodturning.
Another possibility is to get recommended to WOW, there are more pictures there
than most have time to view.

OK, Leo. I got it now.

I have Yahoo DSL, and have had it for a couple of years. I like the
service a lot, but the newsreader is so hard to set up it isn't worth
it. It ticks me off as it is supposed to be part of the service, but
when I called for tech support they automatically send you to the
Phillipines for help. And while those young ladies are charming and
polite as can be, they don't have a remote clue of how to set up the
service.

Like you, I wish I could see more of other's work. But until I feel
the need to spend a few MORE hours straightening that out, I wil just
have to hope it more of the pics are posted to a free hosting service.

Robert
