It's not political. You can't have the same name for a group because they have archives here, it's the business they do and supplement the archives with personal groups.
I can't call my band the Beatles because I would be confused with John, Paul, George and Ringo.
OKAY, I doubt I could be confused with anybody but the Pillsbury Doughboy, but work with me on that, kids. Genius is original but it needs props.
Google Groups doesn't obey RFC 2047 in the "From:" header when posting a Usenet newsgroup message, because Google Groups uses quotation marks around the name of the poster, which is against the RFC 2047:
In usenet sci.math, I have several times posted, and received the "your post was sent successfully" message, yet the post never appears in google groups.
I have not yet verified that they also do not show up in a true newsreader. Which I am considering moving back to, since the "beta" (more appropriately, "alpha") release has become the only platform.
Yes it is incredible the number of bugs in the new system. The one that bothers me imost s that long lines get lost off the edge of the page, neither wrapped nor even with an opportunity to scroll right and left.
But Google is not listening. They can't even be bothered to reply to the list of errors mentioned in this discussion, let alone do something. And all they have to do is offer the old software as an option.

You wouldn't have been "Me" once.
If you are going to do so, do so and please refrain from the litany of adding your lament to wherever you can. The rest of us are going to solve this. I have been using computers for nearly 28 years, long before IBM PCs. I think I almost preferred an HP 3000 8-bit mini mainframe to MSDOS 4 but those days are gone, daddy gone.
regards and thanks for comin'
