Newsgroups vs hotmail (or other free email)

[InZomnia]

I found some exciting hardware newsgroups, stuff are alot cheaper than on ebay, and people are more helpsome.

How do I get a free email account that works in "outlook express" or other newsgroup reader, so that I can make theads/reply too in the newsgroups?

I dont wanna use my "real" email address, since google is indexing all newsgroups, and I dont want my silly messages to pop up, if people look up my email...

Thanks!

You can get free hotmail, yahoo and many others by just visiting their sites and following their process to sign up. This really has nothing to do with being able to post to usenet newsgroups though.

The links below explain how to set up & use OE to read & post to newsgroups, no matter what e-mail your e-mail address is. (hint & suggestion - it doesn't even need to be real).
