Is there a way to post to abpw with this website?
My ISP does not support the newgroup


FYI, from the 'dirty tricks' department:

Find a moribund newsgroup that your ISP _does_ carry.
Then *CROSS-POST*(1) your picture to =that= group _and_ a.b.p.w.

Your ISP will accept the message, and pass it on, because it is posted to a
group that they _do_ carry.

When they do that, they do 'preserve' the "invalid" (on their system),
group(s) for that article.

Thus, when it hits the "wider" world, it makes it to a.b.p.w.


*OR* you _could_ just =ASK= your ISP to add a.b.p.w to the list of newsgroups
they do carry.



(1) "Cross-post" -- to send _one_ copy of an article, with multiple newsgroups
listed on the "Newsgroup:" header line. Anybody reading _any_ of the
newsgroups so listed will see the article. With _most_ newsreaders, though,
once they see that particular article in _one_ newsgroup, they will *NOT*
see it in the others. Newsreader software is 'smart' about this kind of
thing.
