Seems like it used to be when I read posting on Google, exited and came
back later it showed the number of posts since my last visit. Now
everytime I return the number keeps getting bigger. It's over 3000 now
for the wreck and just keeps getting larger. And regardless of how far
back I go it always says something on the order of 8 new posts of 8
total for every subject. I dont recall changing any settings but
evidently my computer is not keeping track or I have inhibited Google
from keeping track. Now it's also possible I'm having a Senior Moment
and am just imagining it used to keep track. Any help appreciated.

I don't like the new google newsreader too much.
You might be better off to setup Outlook Express as
your newsreader (since there's a good chance it came
pre-installed on your computer). You can choose others,
of course, but I find that a real newsreader is lot better
in many ways.

I use Agent as my newsgroup reader along with Supernews as the
provider. No problems.
