Why I use Google Groups
archang...@hotmail.com
I use google groups because back in 1997(?) DejaNews was sold to a new
and unheard-of company called google. I had been on Deja-News since it
was formed and wasn't about to lose my account. A lot of people felt
the same way, so Google made special dispensation for DejaNews users
and we were all given automatic upgrades and we were all able to keep
our accounts. So basically the answer is that I've been Googling since
before Google existed and I don't want to stop using an account that
I've been using for something like 15 or 20 years now.
So what's so bad about posting from Google anyway? Just curious.

Correction: Google took over DejaNews in 2001, but like I said I
wasn't sure about the year. My old brain is beginning to fail me, lol.
For some reason I thought it was before the new year, not after. In my
mind it happened years before the towers came down. Oh well, better
take my brain medicine.

Well, there are a few things wrong with google groups - much of which may
not be an issue for you.
First, your IP is out there in the open. If you're like me, you don't care.
Hence the reason I'll publicly state my IP - 192.168.0.102 - on the
intraweb. If you are either using a proxy (such as the Cow) or don't give
a shit that people think/know you are in Alaska, then there is no issue.
Second, google groups tends to fuck up the posting style. You actually have
to work on making sure you are correctly quoting and replying to the
intended kook. I have used it through COTSE when needed and find it a
royal pain in the ass.
Third, you cannot set your own x-headers. I've always found them cool and
appreciate having a strong likeness of me come across in my x-face.

now after all this time. Even if I didn't use it, I'd keep it alive,
y'know?
Thanks.
