Google Groups.
Google groups is no longer "talking to" news groups.
So anything you post on Google won't be seen on news groups if you are using it. It just appears on the Google thing. Time to abandon Google. Pity, it was more user friendly. .. So to Outlook Express. I get mixed upon these long threads |

Looks like I'll have to go back to newsreaders. Although you'll only see this if you're reading via Google Groups I guess! |

Perhaps the time is coming to migrate ukdiy to a shock horror web forum format. Maybe the server could provide a NNTP feed for those who want it. Owain on googlegroups Have you tried the new Google groups? I see this group spamed to bu**ery this morning in the old version Allan |

Owain on googlegroups I guess I could host it for a fee :-) -- To people who know nothing, anything is possible. To people who know too much, it is a sad fact that they know how little is really possible - and how hard it is to achieve it. |

This group generally doesn't get too spammy on Googlegroups. It doesn't get spammy at all if you filter out everything sourced from googlegroups. That's where the c** originates. Just get a proper newsreader (NOT Outlook distress) & filter the rubbish. :-) -- Mick (Working in a M$-free zone!)
