No, I haven't. E-S blocks articles identified as spam by Cleanfeed/SpamAssassin.

Talking about reading comprehension: The O.P. clearly states that he is
referring to the Google Groups web client, where you can "subscribe" to
a thread, meaning that you will be notified by email when a new article
arrives in a particular thread. For obvious reasons this does not work
with a NNTP server and a newsreader.

Sorry, my misunderstanding then.

I wonder then why the only GG poster that I know of is not showing up in
one of my newsgroups ..... unless their post is quoted by some other
poster. But no great loss!

Sorry! What??

Do you, Ray, receive an email to yourself every time you make a News
post?? ... or because I replied to a GG poster?? .... or some other reason??

I "subscribed" to this *thread* in Google Groups by simply replying to
an article in the thread. As soon as somebody else posts a follow-up in
the thread, I receive an email notification. That's how "subscribing to
a thread" works in Google Groups. I just demonstrated this feature, as
you don't seem to be familiar with Google Groups ;-)

Only ten days to go and it won't be an issue for you... no GG posts

To the best of my knowledge, I know Google Groups by name only!!

I know it'll mean nothing to you, Ray, but when I started UseNeting,
Google Groups didn't exist so I've used UseNet, under several guises,
all along.
