StePH,

He already has. (Nice work, Mr. Petro)

GoogleGroups licks balls because:
* no automatic quoting

* no automatic signature

* You can't maintain a killfile

* You can't snip crossposts without previewing and then editing your
message first

That's just a few reasons without thinking hard about it.
Just about all I can say in its favor, is that it's free and searchable
