Mary,
I use X-News and it doesn't have many (okay, any) bells and
whistles. Yes, I know there are newer, better, etc. programs.
But I like the simplicity of X-News. I have tried some of the
others, but always returned.
I try to find older items using NZBIndex and Binsearch. In other
groups (books, audio, comics), the posters are more tolerant of
folks that are not as informed and plugged-in as they are.
Requests are handled with helpfulness and usually a swift re-
posting of the request. There are a few that try to help by
educating the requesters, and they are very helpful. So much as
to write out a lesson plan on how to use NZBIndex.
I think a more helpful response (how to easily look for
instance), a re-posting, or no response at all instead of a
seemingly snarky comment would have been more appropriate in a
polite society.
Yes, this is mostly cut-and-paste from the response I wrote in
abs.mp3.classic-rock. I don't cross-post. Always heard it was
rude.
