A good place to look for the passwords is in the 0/1 part of a post. It
contains the text part of a post, and posters will put it in there. If
it says something like "password protected" then "protected" is the
password. A couple years ago I wrote in the header, "password later in
the other group. "later in the other group" was the pass.
Another good way to find the passwords is to read ALL the text posts.
Posters may indicate them in a seperate post and you won't find it if
you only look download the rar file and don't read the text.
Hope that helps,
Weener
