I don't have a problem with people using Google Groups to post. It's the
myriad of kiddies who have discovered @gmail.com addresses that are creating
lots of the ignorant cross-postings regarding race, sexuality and just plain
idiotic posts akin the lines of the old "Anyone have any recipes from
Europe?" It's the new AOL, or the new generation of WebTV'rs. Summer
hasn't started and I'm already tired of them
