Please be a little wary of the post from Frogman.

Frogman was involved in setting up this newsgroup and has swapped
posts with the Nun on countless occasions, he knows how to spell his
name correctly.

He was opposed to using the same software for mail and news and I've
never known him to post using Thunderbird.

He signed off the post in an unusual way (for him) and had no sig and
no X-Face.

His "Reply-to" address isn't the same as the one he's used since
having his own website.

Frogman has the address / phone numbers of all regular posters and is
probably in a better position than any of us to answer the question
posed in that post.

And, I guess, the only answer whoever it is can get from here is "no, we don't"!

Also, look at the address he sent from:
[replies.from.newsgroups@gmail.com].
That is a phishing address if I ever saw one.

You have me wondering now Jim, he's been using that address for many
years. I suppose we'll just have to wait in the hope he responds to
us.

Bri,
It is me, I live in N Yorkshire in a place you have visited several
times, the reason I am using Thunderbird is because I have moved from
windows to an Apple Mac as it has far more power for photo editing,
however Hamster and 40Tude don't play ball with it.
I must say Thunderbird makes it very difficult to post along with family illness means I don't visit here very often.

Apologies if I have caused any concerns for any of you but it really is me.

When I get a minute I will email you and catch up.

Take care all, Froggie.

Hi Froggie and thanks for responding, that clears all doubts and it's
great to hear from you. You did tell me about the family illness and I understand how that would severely limit the time available for
hobbies, etc.

Photography has taken a back seat here, my camera failed and I now
rely on my 'phone for the few piccies I take.
Affinity has been taken over by Canva and uses AI making it far more
powerful than I'll ever need.

I have tried the other operating systems but just cant get along with
them, I'll be sticking with Windows.

Bri My apologies,
It is me, I live in North Yorkshire in a place you have been on holiday several times, and you stop on the North side of the town.

My reason for posting using Thunderbird is I have moved to an Apple Mac
as it makes photo editing much easier but hamster and 40Tude wont play
ball with it.

When I get a minute I will email you with a catch up as it's been a long
time since we spoke

No Problem,
It shows how much I don'y like Thunderbird for usenet, I couldn't see
the post I sent yesterday and have just repeated it lol, (stupid old Frog)
Glad we have cleared up any confusion though, take care everyone.

Thanks for the clarification Froggie. I had never seen an address with
so many full stops in it, which is why I was suspicious.

PS. Thunderbird takes a bit of getting used to, though once you have got
it set up for the way you want to work it is well behaved.

The "Sent" folder in your "Local Folders" has your messages all stacked
up for you, and seperate from your outgoing email
