Go to http://www.pet-manual.co.uk/ and delete the threads you created, or
just all the posts you made. All your posts and others will still exist in
the *proper* usenet.  That seems to stop the dreaded 'repost syndrome'.

To continue participating in rec.pets.birds you can download a newsreader
and find a free or lowcost news-server - or your ISP may provide one free
of charge for their customers.

The process to use a newsreader involves setting it to access the
news-server, then download the list of newgroups (once only) and finally
subscribe to any and all newsgroups you wish to (and there are probably
over 40,000 to pick from) such as rec.pets.birds

You can get past messages on any newsgroup, or do a 'catchup' on the
subscribed group(s) so that you only get the current and future messages.

If you have any questions, ask.
