[USMA:28012] RE: metric news group

[Chimpsarecute]

When I tried to set up MISC.METRIC-SYSTEM in my Outlook Express it keeps coming up with server not found.  The only reference to this news group was found under sci.misc.   Even a google search under the name MISC.METRIC-SYSTEM does not show me anything other then what appears under the SCI.MISC group.   Even when I get a listing of the different groups this one does not appear.   Are you actually posting to this group?  Have you actually set this group up on your newsgroup viewer on your computer?  Has anyone done this and been successful?   Euric     ----- Original Message ----- From: Bill Potts To: U.S. Metric Association Sent: Sunday, 2003-12-28 02:44 Subject: [USMA:28010] RE: metric news group Euric:   You are definitely in the wrong place. The group is misc.metric-system.
