Hi Bangbang!
Now that you've posted your Googlemail address in these groups it is
time to get rid of it. It is particularly insecure. Although it's not
perfect, I'd recommend a free Hushmail (www.hushmail.com) encrypted
account if you're going to correspond with anyone in these groups.
The reason you cannot see the photos (binaries) that have been posted
in this group is because you are viewing through Google Groups on the
internet. Our original posts are part of usenet, a different section
of the worldwide web. You are right in guessing that you will need
special software to view the binaries (photos) posted in these groups.
I'd recommend FreeAgent (www.forte.com) or X-News (www.download.com)
as free newsreaders. They are not simple to use, but they are well
worth the trouble when you see what you are missing. You'll also need
a premium News Service Provider (NSP) such as Astraweb or Giganews.
Accessing and posting through your Internet Service Provider (ISP) is
NOT recommended. If you are unsure you want to venture down this path
I'd recommend a membership with Teranews, which has a minimal one time
cost and otherwise free service (but you get what you pay for or don't
pay for).
The newsgroup you have posted in is The Fort. It is the home base of
boylovers on Usenet. We have a community here (of sorts) and you are
most welcome. When you are set up properly to view posts as they were
intended to be seen, post again to me (PING) and I will make available
to you some VERY helpful information for newbies.
Have A Beautiful Day,
Doc
