Uugh, I hate HTML discussions! I'm thinking more like:
snews://secnews.netscape.com/netscape.communicator
(Click on the link above). Our own news server. Our own newsgroups.
The password protected group is for people who are actually involved in
administering the server to discuss admin stuff which the outside world
should not see. For example, on the Netscape newsgroup, we have a
password protected 'netscape.champions' group, where the Netscape
Champions can communicate with Netscape staff.
