You're right about that but the experience is pretty much the same. I can read and post to Usenet. As an added bonus, I don't have to trim, scroll, or click, or configure a "proper" newsreader on all my computers. Heck, I can read posts (but not post) on my phone. The flexibility is just wonderful. |

The flexibility is just wonderful. The problem here is two differing schools of thought, or perceptions about Usenet. Some of us appreciate the 'lean and mean' aspect of traditional Usenet where there is minimum bloat, where a post can be downloaded with only a few kb of overhead - something not possible with google groups. I like the nice clean interface of a properly formatted Usenet post and newsreader, GG or anything else like it is the exact opposite of that. Worst of all, GG attracts the clueless... who are *especially* clueless about Usenet. I don't know what google did in the past year, but suddenly we're getting these utterly clueless types replying to ancient threads - some I've seen go as far back as the 1990s... Lastly, nobody owns Usenet. Google likes to /think/ they bought Usenet, but they ****ing well didn't and they don't own it. It's total anathema to the spirit of Usenet. Plus, they have essentially destroyed the Usenet archive they promised to maintain correctly. |

Thunderbird is not lean or mean. Agent might be but I can't comment on that. T-bird loads up the posts into memory on startup and if you have a busy newsgroup, startup could take a while. GG is faster and doesn't even need a desktop client program to access. If Usenet has a future, GG will probably be an integral part of it. > > Lastly, nobody owns Usenet.

Indeed, but then it's not a real newsreader. It's an email client with basic Usenet functionality tacked on almost as an afterthought. Agent, XNews, Microplanet Gravity, slrn, Pan et al are real newsreaders. >Agent might be but I can't comment on >that.

When someone first accesses Google Groups, every post back to the beginning of time is available. Sure, the posting date is available, but it's not always easy to spot. If you search for "mustard" (for example), it doesn't take very long to scroll down to threads that have been dead for a year. > Lastly, nobody owns Usenet.

It's been around for about 5 years but has never been as popular as Facebook. I think it has a more attractive homepage than FB because of a more vertical, open, format and there's no advertising. At one time there was an attempt to make Google Groups a part of Google+ with the ability to embed content within a post. That would have been cool but it proved to be too difficult to implement so that was abandoned. I'm somewhat surprised that people insist on sticking with FB's nasty, ugly, cobbled-together, ad-riddled, interface and that Google+ isn't more popular. That's peoples for you. :) |

I suspected it would be something like that. GG makes it too easy for anyone to post to Usenet - I'll wager 99% of them don't know and haven't even heard of Usenet. At least before GG, one had to configure a newsreader... which helped filter out a lot of clueless newbs. >> Lastly, nobody owns Usenet.

I take care to trim my posts (unless I'm posting angry) and to hit the darned carriage return occasionally. I'm a habitual vi user, so it comes naturally to me. I read a quick article in the popular press about a study of typos in texts and e-mails. Apparently, people who are bugged by misspelled and mis-punctuated text are introverts with "not agreeable" personalities. I believe that "not agreeable" means "isn't inclined to let things go just to keep the peace". That's me in a nutshell. My co-workers might aver that I'm also "disagreeable", but not to my face. I always get a big laugh when I say "I'm a people person", because it's obvious even to me that I'm not. Cindy Hamilton |

Too many normal users use gmail (me for example), but it is possible to sort out messages from GG. |

It was easier to just killfile everything from gmail. You are one of the people who changed your display address so I could still read your posts. :) Filtering gmail addresses knocked out the SPAMMERS who were busy flooding newsgroups trying to sell watches.

What is "Grainy mustard"?
I am doing a recipe that calls for grainy mustard and dont feel bad as I have access to huge stores and wasnt sure what to get. I am glad you asked. It is too bad some people get their jollies from being snitty (h)...makes them think they look smarter than they are.

This is what it has to say about grainy mustard: Grainy mustard (whole grain mustard) is mustard that is made with visible mustard seeds. The ingredients usually found in grain mustard are vinegar, mustard seeds, water, white wine, salt, sugar, natural flavors, and lactic acid. The website also gives reviews and links to amazon where you can buy grainy mustard. I would suggest checking this website out. |
