I've been trying and trying to get a newsgroup reader, so as to have
access to various other functions (blocking messages by certain obnoxious

doesn't seem to provide. I found and downloaded both Thunderbird and
Seamonkey... and I can't figure out how to set up the newsreader to pick
up the newsgroup. I've looked through the help files and FAQ's, and...
nuthin'.
The error message I keep getting when I click the 'Manage my
subscriptions' link is thus;
"Failed to connect to server alt.religion.wicca."
I know it can be done, as others tap into the newsgroup with other
newsreaders. I'm just technotarded enough that I can't figure it out. Any
help would be hot.
Thanks guys!
Well, since alt.religion.wicca is a newgroup and not a server. That is why
you get that error.
First you have to set up your newsgroup account to connect to a server,
then subscribe to the alt.religion.wicca newsgroup.

Thanks... I knew I was doing something wrong. How do I figure out which
server to connect to? as i said, i have never done this before, so it is a
bit of a learning experience for me.
Who is your internet service provider? If they don't provide a free newsgroup
service, there are a few you can try, or you can pay for a service you may like
better.
Here's a link [below] to one of the free news services you could try. They tell
you how to set up your newsreader to access their news server.
