Just wondering if anyone of you nice people can help

I am trying to locate newsgroups covering the topic of Osteopathy   which 
concerns posture of the body and associated issues

I have found a few medical newsgoups such as alt.support.ostomy, but they 
are permiated with offensive posts about x-rated movies and viagra which I 
have absolutely no desire to even view the titles of.  any suggestions?  Am 
I just looking at the wrong newsgroups (maybe those beginning with alt ?)

Thanks for any help in advance.

Simon

You might try http://www.makoa.org/usenet.htm
they seem to have some of their favorites linked.
Look for a moderated group, if there are no rules
then newsgroups can get out of hand.

By the way, this is a group on the POV-Ray server.
http://www.povray.org/ maybe you knew that?
POV is free software that can take text descriptions
of objects and turn them into amazing pictures.
You might want to take a look...

You won't find them on this news server. :) It's exclusively for POV-Ray 
  and for the use of people who use POV-Ray. This is a "private" news 
server, IOW, we don't carry any other feeds besides the POV-Ray related 
stuff, and we do not supply feeds to the newsservers at large.

You may want to try googling Osteopathy forum, to see if you can find 
any forums that match what you're looking for, usually those are well 
moderated, and if a viagra ad makes it through, it usually won't last 
long, if the mods aren't sleeping. I haven't visited a newsgroup in 
years, simply because unmoderated = spam, and most newsgroups are 
unmoderated.

Hope that helps ...
