Just a few benefits of Google Groups.
... I don't dispute the "benefits" but I have had some issues. At work here I partake and contribute in related (technical) newsgroups, and when our company news server was down for an extended period, I subscribed to google groups, and used my gmail. Unfortunate, google does not let you mung your email, and I now get regular spam, OK it's filtered 99% of the time, but this is the only place/method where my google address could have been harvested as it is posted to Usenet. Groups is a good archive, and I use it on the technical group, because I can "google" it, very useful. And I'm sure these list archives (which do exist) are useful to some of the newer members, or us older ones with failing memory cells! -- Regards, Nic.
