Subject: [PCSOFT] CHANGING USER NAMES IN NEWGROUPS
> Currently have an @home cable connection, using a varient of I.E. 5.0,
wondered how I can change my name that appears in NEWSGROUPS. Noticed
that several users have "cutesy" type names as originator..for example
RAMBO or ROCKETMAN, etc..unfortunately my full name appears as
originator on all Postings to Newsgroups..wondered if it is possible to
alter to the name of my choice.
