When did Google buy Deja       Vue? I started with an AOL Newsgroup Feeder & switched over to Google Groups       when AOL abandoned their site in the early 2000s. I also believe a lot of old       posts are being brought        back to life just (just for kicks) because of the dearth of new topics as       Google Groups has been dying a slow death for the past 5+ years.               TOG              ND: Dandelion Root Tea       NP: Pay You Back With Entrails - The Hollies              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
