Then may I suggest you READ before your WRITE. Read at least 2-3 weeks
worth of messages in a newsgroup (more, if it's a slow group) before
posting there. Ensure your posts will be welcome in that particular
newsgroup.
Otherwise you'll soon find yourself with a reputation which will deter
people from helping you.
