And my diatribe was not about that either. It was about the bloody idiots
from google groups disrupting the local scenery and then bitching about the
reaction the get, and you are one of them. You want to be spoon fed like the
bloody idiots you are.
Characterising everyone who uses Google Groups as a "bloody idiot" is
like criticising someone who uses browser-based e-mail rather than an
e-mail client. You might also rail against those who aren't prepared
to use a real e-mail address or identity.

Rob, I am well aware that there are some sane people who use google groups to post to usenet for whatever reason, usually related to not having a news server to hand. I know that some of the regulars in the groups do so. I have no problem with that.

Rob has used GG for a while now. I used it for a little while (waiting to get Giganews setup) and I started to use it yesterday to post a few things but changed my mind when Google Groups couldn't properly determine whether I had cookies enabled or not and wouldn't allow me to sign in.
