   Oh, please.  "Use Google groups, and turn the gallant entity the   
   newsgroups into another web forum."  Usenet has been a forum of end user   
   customizability.  You can choose your own news reader to suit your OS   
   and taste.  You can set the preferences to how you read news posts.   
      
   But you, Dr. Space Guitar 666, want us to use one of the clumsiest web   
   based forum systems as our access point for this perennial service just   
   because you want us to read usenet the way you do.  That sir (and I use   
   this term liberally), is another example of why we don't generally care   
   for your pathetic nature.

   I use MT-Newswatcher for Mac OS X.  It's free, and having tried Google   
   Groups to access this newsgroup, and can say I find MT-Newswatcher far   
   superior.
