To use the new system, simply create a long (up to 29 characters will be used) unique "passphrase" for yourself, then configure your newsreading software to logon to our server NOT "anonymously" but instead using your unique personal passphrase as BOTH your logon Username and Password.

Your passphrase will never be revealed in your postings, but it will be "cryptographically hashed" to create a unique signature on every article you submit. This will authenticate you as the poster, eliminating the possibility of forging your online identity and also allowing your own news reader to instantly cancel anything you have posted while using this system.

For the many users of Outlook Express, step-by-step instructions with plenty of screen snapshots can be found on this OE configuration page.

Beyond that, if you need additional help or clarification, please check out our web site's "Discussions" page for all the details of the user logon and posting cancellation system.

See you online!!
