Thanks sivaram for this, I signed up to "eternal-september.org",
strange name! I did try "nntp.aioe.org" as suggested by Ivan but
they didn't carry as many messages in "comp.text.tex" as
eternal-september.org and as I wanted guidance on implementing
various ideas in latex, I went for eternal-september with more
messages.

Thanks
Sharon.
