Anyone here using webTV to read this group?.

Hi everyone,
This is Ron Schompert. I have a person who wants to access r.p.m
but she uses webtv.
I know nothing about how webtv works.

Before giving her other options to access this group, I would
like to know if anyone here uses webtv to read r.p.m.

She was an occasional poster in the old rec.ponds for many years,
until she got fed up with the garbage. She can still get r.p but she
says she doesn't know how to get rpm.

(I'd like to help her with webtv, before directing her to a
different free newsgroup provider or googlegroups).

So if anyone out there is currently using webtv to access this
group, please respond here, or email me at

Thanks.

ron.

(Some of you probably know her, but I don't have permission (yet) to
mention her name.)

Yes I can view this newsgroup with WebTV by using Google.

.....Yep, I'm here via Google_Groups access, on a type of WebTV box
called an MSN-TV-2 unit.

....There are some responses to your WebTV access quesions over in the
WebTV oriented Newsgroup called "Alt.Online-Service.WebTV, which
should resolve your WebTV posting, and access problems.

......Good_Luck with your new group!! ;-)

Hi Javelin,

Thanks very much for your test message posted here. I did find
your response in the webtv newsgroup.
I appreciate not only the helpful info you gave me, but also
that you took the time to actually run the test, so that we know for
sure that everything works.

I have contacted the lady in need, and provided her with the
info for her to rejoin us on r.p.m.

Thanks again!

Ron

.....Hi back atcha' Ron!!

......Just as a follow-up; -- The latest, and most current WebTV E-mail
address to be used for updating, and adding new already existing
Usenet Newsgroups to WebTV's In-House news-servers is:
"".

.....So, you'd just send an E-mail addressed to:
"", and on the subject line you'd type
"Usenet_Request", and then in the body of the message state which
Usenet group you'd like added to WebTV's news-reader/servers, sorta
like this:

"Please add the newsgroup titled, 'rec.ponds.moderated' to the WebTV
newsreader/servers"

[NOTE: ....You will NOT get a response message from WebTV, but the
group should be added to WebTV's reader/servers within about 15 to 30
days or so].

.....Hope this helps you, and your friend out somewhat. ....Also, once
again, *Good_Luck* with your new group!! ;-)

We are glad to help...

This is a nice group, the fact that it's moderated means NO SPAM and it's a
respite from flames (there is a time and place for flaming, but...)...plus
which it's an interesting subject. I am having fun reading all the posts...
