I use Thunderbird on the Mac for reading newsgroups. It's not as
advanced as newsreader as Forte Agent, but it's serviceable with
threading, filters and multiple accounts possible. There are other
Mac-friendly newsreaders out there, but I haven't tried them.
Anything's better than Giggle Groups, though.

At least you can still do that. Comcast does not support newsgroups.

I know, Larry. We have Comcast cable Internet at home, too. That's why
I use news.aioe.org, a free newsserver that carries afw, these days. No
registration and allows posting.

the additional site,
