I access the google groups by just going to google groups and I don't
use a gmail address. I just can't understand why anyone would get
upset of something like that. Most of the spam I get in my webmail box
doesn't come from gmail users. (shrug)

Oh, I see. Guess they've changed how to register. I don't remember
having the option of using anything other than gmail when I signed up.
In the mean time, I'm ok with having a usenet specific account.

That's a stupid assumption. Google has always allowed email addresses
other then gmail to sign up for goole posting.

I've told you before, sf, you don't have to have a gmail account to use
Google Groups. I've never had a gmail address. I used to use Google Groups
when I was travelling and that was the only way to access rfc from a hotel.
The two aren't twined together. You do have to have a Google *account*,
which is a totally different thing from a gmail or googlegroups email
address.

Once again you have no idea what you are talking about...

Google Groups is not the "only way" to access Usenet from a hotel or any
other place. You can use any of the free or subscription news servers
wherever you are.

What the hell is a "googlegroups email address"?
