I seem to be able to connect to my 'everyday' news server to
send/receive newsgroup messages - news.btinternet.com - without ever
entering a 'Username'. I usually just click on 'Cancel' or 'OK' whenever
I get this and the pop-up box disappears for a while.
I'd be grateful if someone could/would explain why this might be
happening - and the action I should take.

if your ISP Provided a User Name and password you need to use password
the ISP give you with your account. And when you get past this you will
need supply the Password.
If your have an account with Giganews, Eternal-September or another
provider you'll need to supply user name and password provided. I'd
recommend having SeaMonkey to remember username and password to reduce
hassle factor.
Thank you for your response, Phillip.
My confusion stems from why I can access over 110,000 newsgroups through
BT (a scheme in cooperation with Giganews) *without* supplying a User
Name and/or password.
Surely Sea Monkey should require them *before* it allows me to access
these groups - or give no pop-up /after/ granting access.
