Recommendations for newsgroups access or woodworking sites
I have read and posted on rec.woodworking and
alt.binaries.pictures.woodworking (and other groups)for about 10 years. These groups have been very helpful for the hobbiest woodworker to see other peoples work, to post my work, and to ask questions regarding techniques, etc. Unfortunately Comcast is now ending it's access to newsgroups in a week or so, so I am looking for help regarding my options: 1. Are there any recommendations for woodworking web sites that provide similar postings of technical questions and posting of project pictures? I looked on line but haven't found anything equivalent. 2. Any recommendations regarding free or very cheap access to newsgroups? Quick replys are appreciated as I will be cut off soon. Thanks, I hate to give up on breadth of information available on these sites. Bob -- -- Remove NOSPAM from address to reply |

Thanks, I did more searching and found info on alternate newsgroups access,
but nothing about possible alternative websites that provide similar postings. Does anyone have info on this? Bob, See the thread "newsgroup vs comcast" in this group (abpw) for more info. It started on Oct 7. -- I kill all messages, and replies to messages, from Google Groups. See http://improve-usenet.org for details. |

Bob -- http://www.sawmillcreek.org (note the dot 'org') the forum hosted by publisher of WoodSmith magazine: http://www.forums.woodnet.net/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php the publisher of Fine Woodworking (Taunton Press) has a forum I followed a few years ago, a few like that forum. Not my cup of coffee. You have to wander around the Fine Woodworking pages, and look for community and then click on Knots. Registration seems mandatory. There are others, don't forget to search within MSN groups. |

That's good advice, but the retention on binary groups may not allow one to go back very far at all. So, just to start this all up anew, here would be my recommendation: For the groups I'm interested in that were dropped by Verizon, I use astraweb. Specifically, look at news.astraweb.com and search for the different subscription plans. The one I am using since June is the pay $10, get 25 GB of downloads (headers not included) until this runs out. I still have 24 GB in the "bank". Using Xnews, I can set up as many servers as I like. That includes Verizon, Astraweb, Microsoft, Motzarella (free non-binary access). -- Best regards Han email address is invalid |

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but I thought the question was because Comcast is going to stop offering newsgroups, how the OP could stay "in the loop". Since this was posted in a binary group with likely low retention, I just made a short recommendation. OP can take it from there. -- Best regards Han email address is invalid |

This also went to rec.woodworking, a text-only group. That is a more appropriate place for this discussion anyway. In any case, the notion fo retention applies to the news server, not to the news group. Various providers may have different retention policies for text versus binary groups, but ti is still a function of the NNTP server policies. Neither of these changes the basic point that this has been discussed a number of times already. If the OP wanted to discuss this in a newsgroup where it would be clearly on-topic, then he should have used alt.online-service.comcast . |

I did not notice the post to the binaries group as well as the regular group. My bad. I thought he was asking about the regular group. All the same - there have been quite a few discussions on this very thing over the past couple of months, in a regular manner. All the OP had to do was read the newsgroup and he'd have found his answer, rather than starting a new thread. -- -Mike- |

AAMOF, I once played in a very efficient band, in the 70's named, "Old Dog and The New Tricks" ... that's Lyle Lovett percussionist, and current road manager, holding the "bongos" ... we were too efficient to set up the drums for a photo. ... and yes, there was much argument about just which one was the Old Dog. Hard to believe that was over 30 years ago! Hell, it's a binary NG ... here ya go: Ok.. which one's YOU, Swing?? LOL ...the least number of strings, but a musician, not a drummer!

It's just a matter of dropping the originals back in, as nothing was done to the body. -- www.e-woodshop.net Last update: 10/22/08 KarlC@ (the obvious) |
