Not really. Google even screwed that up like the screwed up everything else.
The biggest problem with Google Groups, is that they are the source of
most (90+%) of the USENET spam. I filter ALL traffic from them and BAM
no more spammed groups. It means that I don't get to see legitimate
posts from GG, but that is a small price to pay for not have to dig
through the crap. Besides, a REAL newsgroup reader is either free, or
very cheap, why go through that crappy interface to begin with. You can
search the archives without posting from there.
