Newsgroups

This was another totally new experience for me, (I've never checked out a newsgroup before), following the module guidelines I linked to the following www.usernet.org, and found it confusing for a beginner, I then went to http://dmoz.org/Computers/usernet/ a far more interesting site but still a little confusing, and onto http://navigators.com/usernet.html, which is a great site for explaining the usernet, with links for further exploration on the subject.

I then linked up to http://www.newsbot.com, which was a breeze to use for a beginner being much more user friendly, and after much surfing found myself at a "Dr Who"site, so I subscribed to the site under the assumed name of "Master" (another Dr Who character)began contributing my comments to a question about Emotion and the Cybermen . The link is below, http://groups.google.com/group/rec.arts.tv/browse_thread/thread/406282db89c69047?

I've pasted my contribution to the group below with my comments highlighted in red.

But was lumic stopped... because he wanted to be a cyberman eventually,
he wouldn't have had the same emotions the other cybermen felt when
their emotions had returned.

I'm waiting for a responce :-)
