Hi Mike;

I am half way to killing Google groups myself.  Your message, and
allother Google groups messages, is coloured so that I can evaluate how
much I will miss. So far it looks like it will make reading this group a
whole lot more pleasant and so I will probably kill them soon.

There are alternatives.  I run an ISP <plug>http://www.Vex.Net/
</plug>that offers NNTP access to my shell users.  You can also receive
this group as a mailing list which is how I read it.  Google is not the
only option out there.
