   Google Groups is a poor interface, at best.  To each their own, but I   
   don't touch Usenet unless I'm sitting at a computer with a real keyboard   
   to type.  Thunderbird does the trick, and is easy to set up.  Eternal   
   September is free, and block news only costs a few dollars for enough   
   text Usenet bandwidth for life.

   I came across the "Straight Dope" years ago.  I was quite disappointed   
   when the column was discontinued... I was still receiving it via E-mail   
   newsletter.
