a link from an html page I mean. I think I used to know this but I

There is only one war, and it's not the rich against the poor,
the blacks against the whites, the Federation against the Borg,
or the Democrats versus the Republicans. It's those of us who
aren't complete idiots against those of us who are.

Did you try searching Google for "how to link to a newsgroup"? I get a
million hits, and at least 3 of the first 10 look like they would answer
this.

I'd say the following is better:

<a href="title="May open in your preferred newsreader">Usenet:
alt.comp.freeware</a>, also <a
href="http://groups.google.com/groups?group=alt.comp.freeware"
title="alt.comp.freeware, archived at Google">archived at Google</a>

Ah right, it has to centred, bold, size 3 and black, and then you can link
to an NG.

UGH!
How dare you befoul my eyes with such hideous markup!
I feel the sudden urge to take a shower.

You are on a technical newsgroup. Please do not use the word "shower" again!

And it has to be done in deprecated markup, of course.

LOL!

Well found, though I should point out that washing your hands and showering
are somewhat different!
