Google Groups is pretty good about this - I had a refund check in my greasy little paws in just a couple of days! OTOH, it always makes me a little paranoid to not see a something that I've posted on Google Groups. They have the power to purge the posts of users from their archives. As a matter of fact, they have done just that to a guy that posts on this newsgroup. It's amazing - Google's power is awesome! |

Currently I don't know which one I'm using nor do I care. I'm using T-Bird on a laptop but if I find the servers to be slow, I'll use Google Groups. If I happen to be using my iPad, I'll post through GG. If we assume that mobile computing and hand-held devices are the future of computing it doesn't take a genius to see that GG is the future of Usenet. As it goes, Google Groups as implemented on the iPad has some serious issues. Hopefully, it'll get fixed. |

This will also result in Google Groups being more visible to the casual and clueless Google users. They will be promoting Google groups more, I'd bet. Mark my words - we'll be seeing even more than the usual trickle of clueless newbies entering the world of UseNet in the near future (and if not then most everybody will forgot I said this and nobody will be the wiser ;-) -sw |

That's the most ridiculous argument yet. "not worth bothering?" HAHA! It's far faster to use the real deal than some dummed down toy with no features. >And why do YOU care what anyone uses to read this group? >It's none of your business. Are you the usenet police? I really doubt real usenet users care what you use. Speaking only for myself all I care about is not seeing the bitching because you're using crap that sucks. If it doesn't work get something else or STFU. It's getting old. Not to mention it's OT. Lou |
