Wi-fi isn't but you are a danger to yourself and others.

Sorry, just joined. I removed my question because I just realized that
this question is already being discussed on a may 21 thread. I will
follow it there.

Just curious. What exactly did you "join"? Reason I'm asking, I've
noticed many web sites purport to be answering tech questions, when
they're actually just conduits to the newsgroups. Wondering if they're
charging people for this free service.

Some newsreader companies refer to "joining" when you select
a specific newsgroup as one of your favorites. People that
don't know think that joining means joining!

There are some web blogs that "gate" alt.internet.wireless. None
charge for membership, but some do insert advertising. A few that I
know about:

<http://groups.google.com/group/alt.internet.wireless/topics>
<http://www.wifi-forum.com/wf/>
There are probably others...

Exactly, I came in through google. It's got a userfriendly interface.

We must have different ideas of what constitutes user friendly.
Cluttering 1/4th of the screen with advertising and crudely
re-wrapping the text to fit, is not my idea of user friendly.

Personally, I prefer various usenet news readers. I've been using
Forte Agent for a long time and have not seen any reason to switch.

The big advantage to me is that the entire screen is devoted to
content or formatted in a useful way (i.e. multiple windows for
cut-n-paste). With a few keystrokes (or mouse clicks), the usual
header, message list thread, and navigation junk, are just gone.

That's another reason that I detest blogs and most HTML interfaces.
They emphasize form over content. They look great. There are
avatars, wiggly icons, HTML formatting, inline photos, garish
signatures, cleaver names, copious quotes, and plenty of search and
navigation aids. If there's any room left on the screen, maybe a
little content, but just a little. What I've noticed is that most
posting to blogs consist of "one line" cute comments, which are of
little value. For the occasional posting where the author has
properly researched the problem and expounded on the topic with
details, the blog again emphasizes form over content and re-formats
the long posting into an unreadable mess. While I do think there's
some merit in encouraging brevity, methinks the blogs and HTML
interfaces take it to an un-necessary extreme.

Sounds Like it's alot better than google. Anything looks good to me
because the last time I posted to any of these groups I did not have a
GUI and I was using DOS. If i end up doing more of this maybe I should
invest in that software. Thanks

Well, my recommendation for using Forte Agent is based solely on its
text based features. I don't do binaries or images which are other
aspects of usenet. I also haven't tried many alternatives. (I also
use "tin" for Unix). You might want to try some others and see which
newsreader works best for you. Comparisons and reviews:
