Another *very* good reason to avoid google groups is that many people,
including me, kill posts from google by default, in order to stop the
spam, 99.99% of which is posted from google groups. So, your posts are
not being seen, by a very significant percentage of usenet participants.
I only see them because you're among a handful of people who have stood
out enough to make my whitelist.

Thanks for the kind words. Might be time to check out other options.
Suggestions for iMac welcome.
