Hi Jayson,

One of the best and easiest ways to see what's going on in the
newsgroups is to go to Google, but instead of searching the internet
click the "Groups" link. and search on a topic you are interested in.

Google will display the posted messages along with the name of the
newsgroup that the message appeared in.
