My ISP discontinued Usenet two years ago, so I am forced to
use complicated Google Groups whether I like it or not..



No, you are not. There are a number of free alternatives, if you would just
educate yourself about them.

Could you perhaps educate me also. I would love to ditch google if I
could.

I agree SC, my ISP doesn't have them either. Actually googlegroups IMO
was more confusing than what I had. But it's not that bad now....I
know my way around and all, better than nothing. If I didn't have
usenet I think I would have withdrawls. ;-)

For this Next Generation of Personal Computer [PC]
Internet Users* who know nothing of the UseNet; and
only know Google Groups, YouTube, FaceBook etc.
* Google Groups -is- "Google Groups" it's what you do.

An ISP can not make any Money of of UseNet
by simply providing it as a 'service'.

Eliminating UseNet and allowing Newsgroup Access
via Google-Groups with Paid Advertising may provide
some Income {Money} to the ISP directly or indirectly.

Plus all the former UseNet web-traffic is now funneled
via Google Groups Servers and this may un-burden the
ISP of some utility functions.

Bull****. Just because you never heard of it don't mean it's obscure.

eliach,
Lighten up on John(see my previous post). He at least posts
relevant/helpful information instead of spewing crap, which on this
newsgroup is the norm. Maybe your tone, "educate yourself" comes off
as offensive to some. I know that this is USENET, but the few people
who actually contribute are valuable assets. John is in South Africa,
so his situation may be as he describes, perhaps he doesn't have the
access to all the resources available to him that you or I do.
