Google newsgroups gets worse each time they update it... if it could
post in sequence I'd do it.

Why not simply use a proper newsreader and server rather than this
broken web-based thing?

It's useful as a search engine, but as a means of regular reading and
posting, it's hopeless.

Usenet was around years before the web and works !, as Andy says use a
proper reader and use something like individual.net like I do.
Save you a lot of hassle.

...... and everybody else.

The problem is that once one of these orphan threads starts, messages
from other posters on it attach using the correct header information
and newsreaders will follow that, so even killfiling Google posters
doesn't work, even if one wanted to in the first place.

This then results in two current threads running in parallel and
general confusion.

Almost as annoying as top posting......

So true Andy. The trouble is the thing works, but there are people out
there who think they can do things better, usually never works and causes
lots of stress for everyone.
