    You _want_ Rod Speed's "help"?!

    He's still around Usenet, but there's no need to seek out that level
    of egotism.

    Haha. Actually no. I just wondering if he's still alive or if he went to Reddit. lol. I did post a question though regarding my Seagate drives.

    BTW. How did you change your email address from showing up here?

    He posts to some groups under different user names as well. Probably
    also on web forums. Apparantly he got bored with this group though.

    By using a newsreader instead of Google Groups. This is Usenet and
    Google just run a website that allows posting here from a browser.

    I'm using a newsreader called Tin and posting using the free aioe.org
    server which allows posting from any username/email. A quick web
    search will show various other free newsreaders and Usenet servers
    which can be chosen from. Many email clients also support Usenet.

    OMG. You bring me back memories. I used to use Forte Agent back in the day. Now most ISPs, at least in my country dropped support for newsgroups many, many years ago. I know some premium newsgroup services are still around though. However, seems like
    most everyone now has gravitated to that cesspool called reddit.
