Whatever happened to misc.health.diabetes? In the nineties it was a
wonderful group. Filled with information and support and interesting
debates. Now there are dozens of ads for every nugget of real
information on diabetes. Can't someone clean up the ads. I do not
think it is worth the trouble to keep scrolling through garbage to
read the really good stuff from people on this group who have been
here for years and know what they are talking about. It would be best
to disband it and start anew under another name. Perhaps it would
take a while for the rude jerks to set up their unwanted continuous
posts.

I don't see whatever you're talking about. Get yourself a real
newsreader and stop posting through Google. They suck!
I have a newsreader but my I.S.P. does not allow alt.sup.diabetes and so
the only way I can subscribe to it is via "google groups".

Is your newsreader able to handle connecting to more than one newsgroups
provider at the same time? If it is, I've heard that this one gives you a
cheap
and reliable connection to most of the worthwhile text-only newsgroups and
even some of the not-so-worthwhile newsgroups, already filtered for spam:

Don't be surprised if it filters out most of the posts made through Google
Groups, though, since that's where most spammers make their posts.
