Question:
What is the web address for this disscusion
group. I am getting rid of my web tv. and can not live without reading the posts on ROFF. If it isn’t available on a computer, where
can i get my ROFF fix? web tv dosn’t list an addy for ROFF, just
says web tv network. Thanks Let me first say congratulations in deciding to get rid of web-tv. Secondly, you can read and post on this and
other news groups at www.deja.com. It is a free web-based news
service. One of the best parts of www.deja.com is the search options.
You can search old posts or even other posters. It becomes very handy
ammunition when you’re in an argument with someone. It’s been used
against me several times. — Vern My ROFF page:

This isn’t a "web" site – it’s a Usenet group. When you subscribe to an internet service provider they will let you know where to point your news reader application to find their (and hence your) news server. Once you’ve gotten that information you should be able to find rec.outdoors.fishing.fly and add it to your list of subscribed groups. The alternative is to use one of the web-based usenet services, which grab usenet posts and archive them so you can access them via a browser. Slower and usually more cumbersome than the more direct approach, but this is a popular solution with AOL users (who are otherwise stuck with an atrocious usenet service)… Cheers. /daytripper

Doesn’t everyone use www.deja.com or other for searching archives? Regards, Jeff

mraz says: remove me from your mailing iist
Actually, mraz, you are not subscribed to a mailing list. This is a newsgroup. YOU have to unsubscribe yourself. No one at Rec. Outdoors. Fishing. Fly (ROFF) can unsubscribe you. I know how to do it with my isp, but not with your’s. Do you have a window that that says "Remove" or perhaps "Quit"? Highlight roff and click on Remove or whatever and you should be unsubscribed. good luck. Dave L.

I don’t know how to break this to ya bud, but you subscribed yourself and only you can unsubscribe. Perhaps you should use the Help feature in your email/news client and put in the word "subscribe" in the help search. Don’t blame us if you don’t know how to use your newsreader. Peter

<snipped some helpful advice Please hold, an analysts will be with you shortly. <elevator music

Response:

Okay, stop torturing the guy. This is not a mailing list, it is a newsgroup. You are not subscribed to anything, but are actively asking for these messages to be displayed. Ask your internet provider or read the help files of your newsgroup reader software or your my-deja.com service to figure out how to drop rec.outdoors.fly.fishing from your active newsgroup list so you won’t be distracted by it anymore. By the way, a simple question or polite request would have been much less noisy. — Jeff Cook http://www.cookstudios.com Washington DC area

There should be instructions on deja.com on how to do this, it’s not an ISP issue unless you are accessing through a news server as opposed to a web site. — Charlie…

Pardon me, could you please repeat that?
Response:

But you haven’t even asked for the address to send the unsubscribe fee. It takes an incredible number of man-hours to unsubscride someone from this end, and we need to pass the costs onto the person requesting an emergency unsubscription. Now, it may cost you extra, as the ROFF tech staff is not sure where we keep the "iists" for mailing. Please hold, an analysts will be with you shortly. <elevator music
