In response to several questions I have recieved.
The clips I am posting are on the usenet. If you do not know what this is then go to google.com and search for "FAQ usenet newsgroups".
Contact your ISP to get the setup info for their news server.
ALL of my posts are done using YENC.. don't bitch/complain etc about it.. adapt or don't get the clips.. it's that simple.
Use of M$ Outhouse Express I would highly recomend against in any way shape or form since it's a security hole ridden POS. Email I would suggest use of Eudora (free at Eudora.com) and for news/usenet most ppl find Forte' Inc's Agent the best. (I use it personally). Free Agent will NOT decode yenc at this time however.
X-news is a good alternative.
Most posts last between 2 days and several weeks depending on the news server. (Mine sucks)
I generally don't do alot of reposting.. so get an acct on an alternative free server as well such as teranews.com to retrieve any missing parts on your own server.
None are on there now (according to my server).. but I
will be posting more sometime this weekend.
I am also still looking to chat with/meet a FE squirter in southern Ont Canada.. there has to be some of you out there? ~_^
