No worries. If you want help with that (and a better experience in the MS
newsgroups in general) you could a newsreader like Outlook Express or Forte
Agent rather than the web interface. It's a lot easier to do nearly
everything there, including searching, which is always a good idea to do
before you post, as well as mark messages to be watched, and filter based on
replies to your posts. And there's spellcheck. :)

The Microsoft public news server is msnews.microsoft.com and you can
subscribe to as many groups as you like.
