Well, I'm not a newbie and I use a real live newsreader and news
service. Have been on Usenet since 1995. On other groups, my
newsreader's search feature works just fine. Didn't even think of going
to Google Groups (and yes I know it replaced Deja News) because I don't
read newsgroups on Google.

I'm ever so sorry I bothered you. Please forgive me for posting on your
hallowed space.
