Thank goodness. Then people will finally use decent software to post to
usenet.

Some of us can't use anything else. I mostly post from work (yes, I
know ... :-) and the firewall won't allow me to use anything other
than Google Groups.

Now for some reason I have to type "mallyphe" into a box ...

Do you have to do that for *every* post or just for for any number
of posts contained within one login session?

Every post, although I wouldn't mind so much if (a) it combated spam - it
doesn't as the GG help group, which also mentions this problem with no
solution, still has it and (b) when it tells me it's going to play some
numbers for me to hear that it actually played them (although that's still a
pain as it means I've got to stop watching TV for a moment so I can change the
input on my amp)

Starting a new thread brings up a series of letters to type in. However, the
current situation means I can't quickly reply to posts on GG and have to start
my newsreader which I just use to catch up every few days.
