Sorry if this is old news but...Does your ISP provide Usenet access?
Gliderpilot.net is a web piggyback on ras, as is Google Groups. *If you
have Usenet access via your ISP (check their FAQ page) it's a much
easier way to access all kinds of groups.

"Uras" (gliderpilot.net) isn't a newsgroup, it's a website and email
server styled to look like one. The only true soaring Usenet newsgroup
is RAS.

I'm not really sure why anyone bothers with uras as it's mind-
crushingly slow but, hey, it's up to them.
