I use google groups to access this fine forum. And I just noticed my email address appears anytime my posts are responded to. But everyone else here seems to have figured out how to automatically edit their email address, adding \"no spam\" or something in the name. How do you do it?

You can get a free account with Eternal September and/or AOIE. I
actually use both, plus Supernews, in the same client, because they
don\'t all get wedged in quite the same way. Also Supernews has 18 years
or so of history, not that far off from the Deja News database that
Google bought out. TB is pretty easy to set up.

Other folks like Forte Agent and even the classic text based things such
as tin.

One word to the wise--don\'t use the same client for mail and news, or
you\'ll wind up posting some personal message here by mistake.

On Qubes OS, I use TB for both, but in different VMs so they don\'t get
mixed up.

Cheers

Tell google that that\'s your \"reply to\" e-mail address?

What actually appears in responses to my posts is \"<bill....@ieee.org> \" but I do access google groups through my IEEE identity, and the IEEE has been spam blocking there since 1996 at least.

I created an account just for GG with \"deletethisbit\" in the name. Few ever do and every once in a while someone sends me a direct mail to this stupid account, so I have to check it periodically. On the other hand, it gets very little spam!

That\'s just how Google displays it, your full email address appears in
the usenet post.

Those are excellent recommendations, including the caveat about
using the same newsreader for mail and news.

I also used free accounts with Eternal September, AIOE and
Albasani until I switched to a paid account with Tweaknews two
years ago. The difference is that paid services are generally
faster and more reliable than the free ones and have longer
retention times.

Tweaknews has several plans. I opted for a block plan instead of
a monthly subscription, which means that a user pays for a block
of data that doesn\'t expire until it\'s used up. I paid 2 euros
for a 10GB block and have hardly made a dent in 2 years.
