   That would be true enough.  A news server I joined offered a free   
   newsreader.  The newsreader couldn't handle groups.  It allowed you to   
   search for posts on a chosen topic.   
      
   I thought that Yahoo Groups was better.  It wasn't integrated with an   
   open access, like Google Groups; subscription to the group was required.   
      But groups there are now finding it unusable, and are moving to   
   groups.io.  A message I posted to Yahoo Groups timed out twice without   
   being accepted by the server.
