Hmm. Personally, I wouldn't recommend Google for newsgroup access. It's
clunky to use and seems (from the posts of those I've seen in other

King of like Outlook, eh? grin

Seriously, it's a matter of personal taste. Most people who have used a
real news reader hold Google in contempt as a way to access Usenet, but
some folks like the interface . . . just like some folks love to work
contests and other folks think they're a plague.
