Google Groups is, and always was, probably the worst way to read usenet.
And they broke their search functionallity years ago.

Instead of doing anything about all the spam originating from google
groups, they have decided to throw their toys out of the pram. They
won't be missed.

Nice list.

You will need to register (eternal-september and i2pn2 are excellent)
And a client (eg, https://www.thunderbird.net/en-GB/)
