   Sorry about that.   
      
   I had lost all my newsgroups and wasn't sure which of the two VB newsgroups   
   was the one I used to participate in months back. I tried to find names I   
   recognized (like yours) and didn't see any in the initial list that came up   
   when I clicked on the newsgroup name.   
      
   In addition, I noted some 'not so nice' language used on one of the two and   
   figured it may not be the same newsgroup I participated in before. But I   
   wasn't sure. So I posted in both and thought to see which is actually the   
   one that has good participation.
