Identity in newsgroups

Hi, I'm just over from Outlook Express and Mozilla as a newsgroup reader. In these, I can use a nonsense "reply to" identity to hide my true identity when I discuss issues on the usenet groups. With Entourage as my news client, it sends my true name when I post. Is it possible to disquise my identity when I post using Entourage newsgroup accounts?

Thanks.

You can. All yyou have to do is to create a new bogus account with the
identity you want. Entourage will let you post with it on usenet.
