I'll probably have a 'Doh' moment when I get the answer to this - why, when I click on a subject in the list of topics, does the topic open at the last posting made, and not the first? Can I change this?

Usenet is not intended to be read through a web based access. If you want to use it properly, get a proper news reader. All of these have a mechanism to slice and dice as you like.

Yes, ditch Google Groups, it's a crap way to access usenet. Seeing as this is a DIY NG, it's a bit like trying to use a lump hammer to plaster a wall.
Get a decent news reader - there are plenty out there. Your ISP will probably have a new server for access to usenet, otherwise spend 10 Euros per year on a subscription to News.Individual.net to access the news groups.

In the headers (for a google post)
Shove the ip address into which suggests a RIPE address, so run the same IP address through

You've got to be kidding. I think google have broken their web interface with too much fiddling - they seem now to be matching a searched word to the last instance of it's use in a thread instead of the first. Hence the scrolling to the bottom ;-(
