Why would you not use Google Groups other than the
inability to get binaries?

If it suits your purpose good for you, but the main reason
for me is threading, GG's horrific interface and the poor
retention of GG.


GG is the source of much spam and is contributing the the demise
of Usenet. Many people that have been around Usenet for years
block anything posted from a GMail address. I wouldn't have seen
this had someone not responded. Nothing personal, but I have
found the content of users that post using a NNTP client is more
likely on topic.
