Groups that begin with a "zero" are usually owned by your ISP. The only people that can post to them are other customers of Bellsouth. My ISP is Verizon and their private groups start with 0.verizon. I can see the 0.verizon groups on giganews (my news provider) but can't post to them. ISP's frown on cross posting from their private groups. -- Travis in Shoreline Washington _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
