Mark Prince has been cajoled into creating a new forum on his site
dedicated to those who enjoy working on espresso equipment. The exact date
for it's creation has not been set, but I for one am very excited about it.
Atta boy, Mark, atta boy!

Thanks. I see that the #1 posting platform was MS Outlook Express. I
do not use MS Outlook at all. I have always used Eudora for my mail.
MS Outlook has a usenet posting mechanism?

It does, but it's not renowned for it's abilities. Far better to use
a newsreader coupled with access to usenet via either a free (ISP
based) news server, or other free servers, or the one that many here
use - news.individual.net, which has a 10 euro/year charge.
Examples of newsreaders include Agent (that has a free and a premium
version), Netscape (that's what I use for text groups) plus any on the
list that Steve posted. Since Usenet hasn't changed in many years,
there is no reason for the reader to change either, especially for
text groups, so any old version of netscape/Agent would be fine.

You're right, Ed. When you access Usenet from within Outlook it's pulling up
the Outlook Express news reader. It's pretty robust & easy to use.
I grew up on the internet using NN, NewsX & still use Xnews, news readers,
and moved from using Pine to using Pegasus email clients and still use it on
my laptop (I hate MS products for their bloatware, but I have to use Outlook
on my desktop at home).
Hey, while we're so far off topic, has anyone heard any good rumors about

Outlook works well for its intended functions. I use it for mail, contact
info and calendaring.
But for usenet news, I still telnet into my provider and use tin on their
FreeBSD system. I like it.

As long as we are out here in the OT weeds a little I have a
question. I have never been able to access the newsgroup via the
wireless at the coffeehouse. I can go through Google and read it. I can
send and receive email just fine and access the web. I've called my
local isp, the wireless manufacturer (ActionTec) and the carrier
(Qwest). I'm finding they are unfamiliar with usenet and haven't been
helpful at all. Any anecdotal evidence that Mozilla would do this? I'm
way over my head trying to discuss this with people over the phone.

Meta discussion is anything about usenet, so it's
topical no matter the group... don't worry, we're still
on topic. :-)

Most likely reasons:
1) A firewall rule in your router preventing it.
Since you got this through qwest, they would
most likely have set it up for their network...
and maybe have news blocked because of the
potential for parking lot spammers... or the one
cup spammer if you charge for access.
2) The news server you're trying to use has access
control in place to prevent "outside" access.
What news server are you trying to access? Zianet.com
*may* only allow use of their news server from within
their network. A lot of ISPs restrict access that way.
If that is the case, then you'd have to use the
qwest news server (if there is one) or point to a
different news server.
> I can go through Google and read it.
Google is still a web server. You're accessing
via port 80. Standard news servers listen on port 119.
BUT... the vowel soup server listens on several ports,
80 included. IOW, if you can surf the web, you should
be able to use nntp.aoie.org:80.

Mozilla will attempt to access whatever news server
you point it to. I don't have Mozilla anymore, but
Seamonkey is its replacement... which still should work
the same. Go to
Edit - > Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings -> News ->
Server Settings, and make note of what's there. Then
change the Server Name to nntp.aoie.org and change the
port to 80. That should bypass any firewall rules that
might be in place. If that works, then you can throw
away whatever settings are already there. If you want
to *know* whether it's a firewall rule, replace the 80
with 119 and see if you can still access it. If so,
then the problem wasn't a firewall rule.
If even port 80 doesn't work, more trouble-shooting
is in order.

Sure, it's at news:slrnf4d3k3.18ah.steve@wizard.dyndns.org
If your newsreader/browser doesn't make that clickable,
I guess you'd go to google groups advanced search and
put everything after the news: part into the message-id
search box... or you can go to the thread listing and
hit "older" until you get back to Sunday morning, or
you could do a subject search on
"AC stats week ending 070512"
The short and skinny is this:
Of 78 people posting, 21 used google groups.
Of 228 posts, 61 were made via google groups.
It's fairly dynamic though, so by this Sunday, the
numbers'll be quite different.

At this point in the game, I would imagine that many if not most

And yes I would complain about Minolta. Come on now.

I would imagine that you are wrong, and even if you are not, that
doesn't make it right. Usenet is a medium that predates the web, and
should be accessed using a news reader, something that is already on
any machine that runs windows and has either IE or
Netscape/derivatives on it. Actually, according to the latest stats
posted this week, Google accounts for 27% of viewers to this group.

Should I ask why?
I went from nn on a VAX/VMS shell to DOS Nettamer
to Linux Netscape 3.01 to Linux/FreeBSD slrn.
I seem to vaguely recall having looked at Deja News
once or twice, but never actually "used" it. To me,
NNTP is NNTP, and HTTP is HTTP and ne'r the twain
should meet.

I should have been more specific: I miss the old Deja News archive.
Deja News circa 1995 to 1998 was just a searchable archive with no posting
capability.
Once Deja News began to allow posting from its interface in '99 things started
to go south. And then when Google bought the archive . . . well, we all know
about that.

Actually, no it doesn't. The HB forums aren't broken down to near the

Not to spark a flame here either, but HB has sponsors as well. Face
it, you will not find a site of the caliber of either CG or HB without
some form of sponsorship. BTW, HB also does reviews of equipment
supplied by it's sponsors.
IMHO both Mark and Dan have done fantastic jobs on their sites and WE
are collectively the better for it.

Hello. Lets be honest here. Actually alt.coffee is a business also,
essentially set up in the same way as CG. To explain: If you look to
the right of the messages on this board, I do see Google Ads. Its
just that the shareholders at Google are the recipients of alt.coffee
's Google Ad click through $$$, while at CG its both the owners of CG
and the shareholders at Google.

You really should learn about usenet. It's not a "board" it's a
newsgroup, which should be viewed using a newsreader. If you choose
to use Google as your "reader" you will get whatever ads Google wants
you to see.

Not even close. CG is a website. It exists on one
url only. It is controlled by one person.
alt.coffee is a newsgroup which exists on tens of
thousands of servers, and is controlled by nobody.

If YOU look to the right, that's what YOU see.
If *I* look to the right... well... what do YOU see here?

Nope. alt.coffee doesn't have any place to display
ads. alt.coffee has nothing to do with google.

Google Groups and its ads have nothing to do with alt.coffee. It's
like complaining there is a Minolta label on your binoculars when you
look at the Grand Canyon.

That's because you are using google groups to view alt.coffee. That
little problem disappears if you're using a newsreader for viewing
newsgroups.

This forum already exsisits. It is called home-barista.com.
Not to spark a flame but, Robert isn't your post an advertisment for
CG? CG is a business disguised as a fan site. H-B has intellectual
modding conversation that is well balanced and lacks the pay for
review style of CG. Just my opinion, and well we all know that I'm
just a crazy man.

You may have a point about CG, but it's one of three forums in wide use
among coffee geeks. I use this forum & CG mainly (nothing against HB but
nothing for either, I just find that two forums is all I need).
I just wanted a dedicated forum for the exchange of ideas about modding,
repairing, & restoring espresso machines.
Thanks for the reply!

Bob,
Is Mark creating it just for espresso equipment, or mods on other
stuff such as roasters also?

When I proposed the new forum I just specified espresso machines. It might
help if you ask him to include roasters, grinders, etc. in the forum
charter, because I've heard that they're cracking down on posting in
incorrect forums.
Can't hurt to ask or wait & see?
