How do you tell eternal-september.org that you want to see
rec.aviation.soaring, I don't see anything like that when I get to
their list.

In short, you don't tell Eternal-September what groups you want, you tell the
news reader program that probably already lives in your computer.

First, set up an account at Eternal-September. That gets you a password and
free access to their NNTP server On their site you will find instructions for
configuring your news reader. (If you have a windoze machine, that means
Outlook Express.)

Having done that, you will download a list of Usenet groups from Eternal
September into your news reader. Then simply choose rec-aviation-soaring plus
any other groups you may want.
