Has everybody else noticed out of thread replies from GG creeping in again, not just this group but others as well. Have Google ' improved' groups again?

Yes. they have turned a monstrosity into a total shambles. I don't know how anyone can contemplate using it for more than 5 minutes.

Not sure, but in a slightly OT reply, I got an email out of the blue yesterday from someone coming from to yet another web based newsgroup post stealing site* asking me to send a file I said was useful.
*tutorials-blog.comI haven't got a problem with this, but I wonder just how many times our posts are being relayed on various websites...

I asked that very question in here months ago. I am still limping, but it improves with time. :))

My killfile entry for some time has been for "MessageID:" matching the regex "*googlegroups.com*" Has there been an increase in GoogleGroups tosh? I haven't noticed.

It really is a pity the way they force a format on the unwilling.
In some instances it works well in that you can fish out old posts going back decades but this present set up is gross. And it looks so AOLish.
(Not AOL newsgroups that is. They were beyond the pale and unsurprisingly AOL killed them off ages ago. I refer to the icons they excrete on the browser page if you don't reset the thing to text only.)
I am not an happy chappie.

It's awful, and totally unusable. You can't even tidy up quotations properly.
A shame, because when travelling, or using my PC at work, I have no other option. Even browsing Usenet with it is painful.

Hey, it works; seems to knock out one or two legit posters who post on google, but I'll have to live without them.
