So, can you? Thanks in advance. It's been a while since I've been there.

I don't think you can link to a newsgroup, as you would access it through a newsreader. I access it through Outlook Express.

It is a snobbish bunch. Seems like a giant circle jerk to me.

go to www.google.com
in the search space type in usenet newsgroups then click on google groups and from there you can find your way into a $hitload of newsgroups

I used to frequent that group allot but I prefered to access it with outlook. Google is ok but I found it easier to read with outlook.

I prefer using a dedicated newsreader called Free Agent. As the title says, it's free, and it's a great program. They also offer a pay version called Agent, with a few more features. It can be gotten here.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha....I'm laughing at Frank's comments about the people on rec.collecting.coins. I used to post on rec.collecting.books and I was always being chastised for posting inappropriate articles...watta bunch of pussies!! Twowood

Well I had to check it out, very annoying format. And talk about off-topics.........some people there with some very weird agendas.

There's a massive troll invasion in RCC right now -- it's tough to wade through it. I wouldn't recommend any first-timers to go there right now.

Unlike a forum like this one, RCC is completely unmoderated -- there's no one who can decide who can post and who can't; no one who can delete inappropriate messages. It's kind of a free-for-all.

Snobbish bunch? Circle jerk? While not denying those labels, I do find this esteemed board to be significantly more snobbish than RCC. Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course...

It's really a useless place to visit. If you take away the off topic posts, flames, the "I'm better than you posts", and the - as Frank put it - "circle jerk", there is maybe 1% of information there.

What a strange and awful place. There's no place like home.

You know, the RCC group was my first home, but I didn't find it very interesting...
Thankfully this place is much better

MY HEAD still hurts from looking at it.

I was a regular reader at RCC a few years ago. I returned a few months ago and tried to become a more frequent poster. I got few replies to my posts and some were ignored completely. Now I don't troll or try to cause trouble, so I guess I didn't fit in well. I simply tried to ask questions and give my experiences and knowledge to others.

I still skim the headers and read a few posts, but I don't reply much any more. There are a few there who I enjoy reading, but there is a lot of junk to sort through.

I've been reading here for a few months too, but I haven't posted enough to figure out if I'll be ignored here or not yet.

LOL.

I guess you answered that question in your own special way.

Can you give me a link to rec.collecting.coins?
