Anyone else noticed that for the last week or so, when you post a

I'd say this is occuring roughly 80% of the time. I have noticed this
also occuring right after making an original post as well.
Any particular reason you're relying on Google Groups, CheeseHusker - I
know you're more than minimally tech-savvy - surely you should get
yourself a real noosereader!
It isn't uncommon, especially on the "darker" side of usenet, for folks
to simply killfile GG as a whole - think of all the poor folks who might
be missing your wit!
I AM the darker side of the web - pretty frightening, isn't it?
Used to use Free Agent when I had a news feed - but since I spend most
of my posting time here at work and they tend to frown my my adding
programs, I just use GG since it's convenient - at least most of the
time.
Have you ever looked into a U3 flash drive with Thunderbird and Firefox
installed? (Thunderbird for your email/rss/usenet needs, firefox just
because it rocks carrying your favs/bookmarks everywhere)?

Hell, there's a portable version of practically everything now, and if
yer sufficiently clever, you can portable-ize just about anything (but
be prepared to spend serious time with filemon and regmon, tracking down
all the registry changes and hidden files, then writing some kind of
script to automatically stick 'em all in the proper place when you
launch the program from the flash drive). I've had everything from
Eclipse to Phot<edit> installed on mine. Hell, I've got about 25
programs installed on it right now!

Anyhow - I just like the ability to work from home or the office and
have the same programs - I hate bookmarking something at work then going
home and having to find it again - stuff like that.

I work thru a Citrix remote desktop - my corporate overlords frown on
USB drives - otherwise that'd be very nice and handy.

So you're stuck with a web-based solution, I guess. Have you ever checked out:

http://www.recgroups.com/

?

Has some things that I *think* are lacking in Google Groups, like a killfile (at least, I think GG lacks one) and a cleaner (IMO) interface.

OTOH, I'd be the first to admit that, when searching the archives, google is the way to go (again, IMO).

Cheers.
