Google replays this group...as well as most other non-binary groups.

Google groups is nothing more than a HTML portal into Usenet. They
also have the old Dejavu Usenet archives.

A very *bad* HTML portal.

Deja was a useful tool, but after Google took it over and started monkeying
(apologies to all primates everywhere) with it, it's just a source of
aggravation to anyone who tries to use it for serious work.

It's got to the point where people are ignoring posts made via Google,
simply because of the broken quoting style and infestation of idiots
using it.

Stick to real usenet, it's a lot less trouble. 8-)

will always be there, so that he can be defeated and humiliated over again.

It got a lot worse when AOL shut down their news servers and a lot of
their idiots moved to Google.

If a thoroughly plonked troll enters a newsgroup, does it make a sound?

Not in the original, it isn't.

Curiously enough, Eric wrote the book and Anthony seems determined to
implement it.

I use "original recipe"-style USENET access for everyday entry to
newsgroups. But Google's archives are useful for searching. Many times, I
have found answers by searching the archives rather than posting a new
question. Quicker, and it avoids repetitive postings.

A recent example is the "SS Rectifier conversion volts drop" topic in this
group. If you search this newsgroup, or one like rec.antiques.radio+phono,
for subjects like "rectifier voltage drop", etc., you'll find plenty to
read.
