    The word "pill" has far too many meanings and usages to be the subject
    of a newsgroup. A "pill" can be be anything from a vitamin capsule to
    a knot on a wool sweater, to an annoying person to a business strategy
    (ie: a poison pill to deter hostile takeovers). It's not necessary
    to have a prescription to buy something in pill form.

    To find out what newsgroup Paul's message appeared in, open his post
    and type the letter H. That will reveal the headers that list the
    newsgroups that message appeared in.

    To find a newsgroup that might include discussions about continuing to
    take, or to discontinue, a doctor's prescription, search newsgroups on
    the subject of "Medicine" or "Health. Your newsreader should have a
    click to a list of groups and a search box for a subject.

    You don't seem to understand anything about Usenet. You asked what
    newsgroup Paul was posting in. The headers shows the newsgroups
    (initial post and cross-posts) and that should answer your question.

    They would not contain any information about magic, curses, spelling,
    bugs, or filters.

    Your general attitude is that you want other people to supply the
    information you should determine yourself. We're not here to help the
    lazy.

    You said it's "useless" for me to suggest search terms to determine
    what group may include discussions about taking/discontinuing
    perscription medication. Do your own research.
