<< Hey Trev, Here’s a tip for you from a former aol user…
*Go to AOL keyword “newsgroups” and sign up for rec.sport.unicycling
there if you want to receive rsu by “email.” When I was on aol I found
that this worked pretty good.
*You can also set up your “Flash Sessions” to download the Newsgroup and
send any postings or replys that you might have. When the rsu posts are
downloaded, I found that aol did a fairly good job of giving each thread
its own folder and this made it a lot easier to sift through
everything.

Hope this improves your RSU viewing pleasure! >>

I’m on dial-up so I pay for the open connection per minute. I think to
use (read, post) the forums I have to be online all the time. Using
the newsgroup and a decent newsreader I can be offline except for the
actual downloading and uploading which is a matter of seconds or
minutes at most.

[To complicate the issue: my new home PC is in the process of being
configured. Pending completion, I use Google groups on my work PC to
view and post. Don’t tell my boss…]

I presume you mean me - I’m the only other Trevor I’m aware of here. You
can feel free to be “Trev” as far as I’m concerned, as I only the full
version.

there was somebody, may have been you, who would sign as “trev” I havent
seen it in a while, not since i started posting (i read for a while then
couldnt resist signing up). I figured if i used trev, they would think, not
having much reason to think otherwise, that i was the previous “trev” im not
sure if thsi was you??
