I have a feeling Google has finally driven me out of rec.woodworking.
I don't know what they THINK they did, but as of yesterday, every time
I open a thread, I get told I need to sign in to post a response. I'ma
lready signed in.

They've also changed the typeface, shrunk it,and overlaid a dropdown
menu telling me this is rec.woodworking plus all the other info about
the group, right over the upper left corner of the screen. It's like
my first wife: it won't go away.


IMO, using Google for newsgroups is like using a fingernail file to sand a table
top..
I paid $30 for Agent a few years ago and love it.. I also pay $3 a month for
APN, a great news server...

Compared to what I've paid for small hand tools, this investment is nothing...
