Newsgroups are the stone age predecessor to Message Boards, which are operated by eMail.

you use the reply button on your email program to reply. =0)

as for downloads......I wouldnt download off a newsgroup. Youve got no idea what moron is on there spreading viruses. To get a downlaod, you would look to the "attachments" part of the message.

I must be lost. I found a Carey Hart video in the messages. It's like ten seperate messages. Each one is like Carey Hart section1,2,3,4,5,6 etc. All small parts of the movie you have to put together. But there is nowhere that has "attachment" or anyway to open these - this is why I'm asking for help. I don't want to reply, I just want the movie!! I just need someone who has used these things? Thanks again!
