Has everybody else noticed out of thread replies from GG creeping in again,
not just this group but others as well. Have Google ' improved' groups
again?

Yes. they have turned a monstrosity into a total shambles. I don't
know how anyone can contemplate using it for more than 5 minutes.

Not sure, but in a slightly OT reply, I got an email out of the blue
yesterday from someone coming from to yet another web based newsgroup
post stealing site* asking me to send a file I said was useful.

*tutorials-blog.com

I haven't got a problem with this, but I wonder just how many times our
posts are being relayed on various websites...

It's not the users that suffer, it's us.

I asked that very question in here months ago. I am still limping, but
it improves with time. )

Oh yes, and they've pulled all access to the old historic formats too, the
ones I used to use cos the new one was so wank. No option to view as a
tree so no context, just so, so ****.

current google groups interface does view as a tree, but i quite agree
with your sentiments, what a pile of bot juice it is. I've never seen
gg produce anything so dire or so senseless. I suspect gg is what they
train their new YTS employees on.

Ah, 'Show message list', I'm sure that wasn't there on my last search,
thanks.

It really is a pity the way they force a format on the unwilling.

In some instances it works well in that you can fish out old posts
going back decades but this present set up is gross. And it looks so
AOLish.

(Not AOL newsgroups that is. They were beyond the pale and
unsurprisingly AOL killed them off ages ago. I refer to the icons they
excrete on the browser page if you don't reset the thing to text
only.)

I am not an happy chappie.

It's awful, and totally unusable. You can't even tidy up quotations properly.

A shame, because when travelling, or using my PC at work, I have no other
option. Even browsing Usenet with it is painful.

Hey, it works; seems to knock out one or two legit posters who post on
google, but I'll have to live without them.
