Is there a yahoo group connected to this newsgroup?
I don't normally use the newsgroups. Do you know if there is a
uk.sci.astronomy group on yahoo? I suppose I could look, but I thought a few others might be interested as well. Thank You, Lee Southern England. |

However, you may find that those of us who use USENET in preference to what are essentially mailing lists and message boards do so for a reason (although you may appeal to those who labour under the misconception that USENET is "Google groups".

This was a parallel Yahoo group which seems to have run out of oxygen. |

There are groups that have their own resource files secreted away - like our FAQ, or like rec,crafts.metalworking has what they call a drop box for plans and pictures of projects - far more space than the likes of Yahoo provide.

With one difference: The ability to easily park relevant images to a
post without the need to own a website. Though this is changing with image storage systems like Photobucket popping up. (Provided you don't mind having no control over the surrounding advertising material) But this is also becoming irritating on all newsgroup and forum space providers. |

Isn't alt.binaries.pictures.astro the place for discussions about pictures? There's also an alt.binaries.astronomy group but I don't know of an ISP that carries it and it's apparently full of spam and porn. |

The trouble with any of the binary hierarchies (that your ISP is prepared to support) is retention - Zen Internet, who we use, don't retain binaries for more than about three days, Google Groups AFAIK doesn't retain any. So there would be no depository. If anyone thinks there is mileage in it, I'm happy to utilise some of the Astronomy Centre space for UKSA "dropbox" Steve |

I shall restrain myself from expressing an opinion about google :-) but do Yahoo groups retain stuff? A.b.p.a. has a mirror at http://www.mysky.org/mysky/ but it doesn't get everything. |
