question how do I find a more open public forum focused on say film making
and screen writing, microsoft news group is mainly for computer tech stuff.?
 
Hi, David.

There are over 100,000 Usenet newsgroups! My ISP's news server lists about
50 (not all in English) that have the word "film" in their names. In
addition to your ISP's server (which you may already be paying for) and the
Google Groups that Gary mentioned, Google gets over 300 MILLION hits on
"free news servers"! While that may be a bit of overkill, the point is that
there are MANY news servers that offer those Usenet newsgroups, so it should
not be hard to find one for any interest or taste. ;<)

This Microsoft public news server is great for computer tech stuff, as you
said, especially related to MSFT, but I get my discussions of Quicken, EPoX
motherboards, ATI video cards, etc., from Usenet NGs via my ISP's news
server.

Hi, Gary.

That's obvious! And, of course, the one supposedly from me was not from me,
either.

Indeed. It was a pretty sloppy forging job.
