Google keeps sending me to its horrible new format, but these
links still have the old set-up (posted earlier by someone else):

Thanks for the heads up Jean, I`m back to the old format after weeks
of languishing in the new format. What is google thinking? I could`t
even do the kinds of searches I could easily do with the old set up.

I agree, Bud. I couldn't figure out the new version at all.

Thanks, Jean (and to whoever you got the links from).

Those are excellent shortcut links back to the old (and much better)
Google format.

I, too, hate the "New" Google Groups. Much more confusing than the old
layout, IMO. And having access to the old Groups means I get all of my
"individual message" pages back too (vs. the "anchored inside the
thread" links now provided in the new format, which take much longer
to load too).

I suppose Google will automatically switch us back to the new Groups
again in the near future, but I guess we can then use the links in
Jean's post to go back to the old again (for a while), eh?

I'd suggest doing what I just now did -- copying and bookmarking one
of the links in Jean's post into your browser for super easy access
back into the old format in case the crappy new one is forced upon us
again. :)

BTW/FYI --

I've been gaining new information almost daily about that postmark
controversy in CE773 (Oswald's envelope mailed to Klein's). I keep
updating the blog post below whenever I get more info:

I think it was Herbert who first posted that. Thanks to him
or whoever it was.

If (or when) we're forced to use the new system, David, I hope
you'll give us all a tutorial. Sounds as if you've figured out some of
its features. I can't make sense of it, myself.

Excellent work on that, David. Very interesting, too.

The Internet Explorer 8 is the same way. I downloaded it and it erased my
IE7. But when I saw how the 8 worked I uninstalled it. and re-installed my
7. Cause the 8 is crap and the 7 is much better. Some of this new
technology is just a crappy way of getting in your pocket. With patches
and stuff. Trying to make this new stuff more profitable for the
conglomerate.

I wasn't talking about the windows program. It is simple enough. Hell we
don't have deal the dos or mos or anything like we used to back when all we
had was an a drive. Geesh.
The operating system is fine. But explorer 8 is crap. It continually crashed
and it don't tab like 7. Well, I like 7 better. What ever floats your tub.

InterNet Explorer is full of security holes. No one should be using ANY
version of IE.
