I think this rash of super-late responses is down to some college

Since all of the respondants seem to these use gmail/googlemail accounts
I'm of the opinion that Google has "revamped" GoogleGroups and people are
finding it easier to post but without realising what it is they're posting to.

I don't think so. Notice how NONE of these messages are ever responded to
by the OP? I thought it was spammers at first when they posted URLs but
many are coming without web links now.

I reckon it's a box ticking exercise for a college course.
