I've given up on Thunderbird. Clearly I have no idea how to set it
up as a newsreader for rec.aviation.soaring and I am too dumb to
understand the fragmentary (for me) help.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb...sgroup-account

Similar to configuring an email account.

I have read that support document and tried to follow it but had no
success..Â* For one thing, I guess I don't know what to put in for the
name of the rec.aviation.soaring newsgroup.Â* I put in
rec.aviation.soaring, tried , and
a few other guesses but none apparently worked.Â* I'm likely screwing
it up somehow on my Mac.

I use this for the location:

news://nntp.aoie.org:119/rec.aviation.soaring


Using eternal-september as the server, my location is:

news://eternal-september.org:119/rec.aviation.soaring

You'll need an account at one of the free or paid usenet servers, and
they would have that information for you.
