Anyone using Google Groups with javascript switched off?
It seems the company has taken aversion to anyone who wants to use its facility without seeing the adverts.
Or at least, I am getting warned off from their site by notices telling me I might be part of a botnet and need to verify I am compus mentis by filling in one of their snivelling little forms.
Posting this from AOL's IE version seems to allow me full facilities. What newsvendours are supplied with a decent ISP these days?
