Someone mentioned that there is a us.military.navy group...but I can't find
it. Google doesn't even show it. Does it exist?

Google doesn't carry it for some reason, no matter how often we ask, the
bastards. Your ISPs newsserver may not carry it yet. Just ask them, most
news admins are pretty agreeable.


xpost to us.military.navy -- Henrietta, any word on Google?

Bastards! My ISP carries the .army group, but not .navy. Sorry pukes.

I just called my ISP and they said that they couldn't help me because
everything is imported. So I emailed the us.* admins ad...@usenetnews.us
and asked for their help...

You might like to consider using news.CIS.DFN.DE -- it's a free service
really designed for German academics, but if you register (you need a
valid email address: they won't let you get away with joe.@spamsink)
they are usually happy to give you an account. (I'm using it myself
right now). I think the website is www.cis.dfn.de, but it should be
easy to find.

Obviously...
But you can't post *to* cis.dfn.de without using that address. Eg this
post is made via my ISP newsserver (blueyonder); my "from" says
"see.sig". Can't do that with cis.dfn.de. Not that it really matters,
of course.

WTF, imported? Perhaps they mean, we bought an ISP-in-a-box and don't know
how to administer our nntp server.

They people at us.* should be able to help. We can only hope the people at
your ISP are willing to listen.

You might also take a look at some of the other web-based news loci.
Supernews is rumored to carry us.*

I'm in!
My ISP kept giving me the run around. They had no clue as to what I was
talking about. So I just registered with http://news.cis.dfn.de
