   Well, the general usage of this USENET group used to be that one   
   could post a couple of paragraphs and ask for advice.  A short   
   conversation, or maybe the opening paragraph, and query, "Would   
   you go on reading?"   
      
   But rasfc has never been a place to post an entire story.   
      
   I don't know how to use Google Groups myself -- I post directly   
   to USEHET via my sysop's BSD 4.2 UNIX system -- so you need to   
   find someone who does.   
      
   Unfortunately, because of a pestiferous infestation of political   
   flamers a few years ago, this group is now very little read.  A   
   pity, that.  We used to have some good discussions.
