I use the aioe USENET news server simply because my ISP doesn't provide
an NNTP server as part of any service plan. So I'm relieved it's a 'real'
NNTP news server.

However, what bothers me (if I may regress) is the fact that a Google
groups (groups.google.com) search for information is so clouded with the
'other' google groups that I can never find anything anymore.

I can't even find posts I know exist ... simply because they are clouded
by the many groups that aren't USENET newsgroups. Sigh.

BTW, if it's not groups.google.com, what do 'you' use for keyword
searching for only nntp newsgroup articles?

Set up a GG account and you can search for something in a particular
group.
