It's  got  to be said. The thread's gone long and deep. It hasn't been
about TB for a long while so let's take it off-list now folks.

Hello ztrader & other fellow TB! Users following this thread,

Sunday, December 10, 2000,  you stated:

z>> Opera is now spyware.

To which Allie responded:

ACM>>> It would therefore seem that if you're a registered Opera 4
ACM>>> user, the adware is not installed. I installed version 5 on top
ACM>>> of my registered version 4.

Then I asked:

DH>> I wonder if the same would be true for my registered version 3.6x?

Meaning, whether the ads go away on installing version 5 on top
of my registered version 3.6x.

However, you replied

z> My understanding is that this is new with ver 5 only.

You mean the ads. But I meant the behavior (no ads if installed over
a registered Opera 4 - or maybe earlier). However, at this point I
believe that I'd have to pay for an upgrade in order to get rid of
the ads.

In any case, I think I'll wait for the next version (the one that
hopefully corrects the current Opera 5's bugs).

Now - to tie this in w/ TB!: When I double click on an url contained
in a message, Opera opens (if closed) and navigates there (either
way).

Good news. Perhaps they really don't do a full spyware install if you
are already registered. Can anyone verify that they don't contact the
'registration server' during the install?

I have since Opera tried to clear this up ... well, maybe they are lying

never under the suggestion that they toy with their customers.

As a registered Opera user:

I see no references to Cydoor in my registry settings as stated on the

I also ran 'Ad aware' on my system and it found no Opera related
spyware. http://www.lavasoft.de/aaw/index.html

And of course you are right here (as has been pointed out before).  I
would have though that when the user goes to forte they would SEE that
there is a free on and a pay for one.  Glad you pointed this out
though.  Not sure of the limits .. but then I get the info I need ..
save of specific messages and move on.

Netscape version? Haven't tried it for news for a long time, but
don't think it's in the same league of those news specialists
(Agent, Gravity, XNews, etc.). Of course, it's surely a matter of

Not yet AFAIK.  I find Gravity excellent for this, multiple
personalities, good *sorting* of threads, or if you like, try Free
Agent.

No,  TB  isn't  neither a news client nor a news server.

So short,

2000-12-09 Thread Jan Rifkinson

Dear BatListers,

   I'm not an experienced news forum reader. Can I use TB! to read
   news groups? And can someone tell me where I can find information
   how to set TB! up for a newsgroup? I searched FAQ without much
   success.

Thank you.
