Use a newsreader, this group isn't a website - it's something totally different. Google gives you a peep into it, but that's all it is, to get the full use of it you need to use a newsreader

Well, for most of us here it would not make a scrap of difference if GG vanished completely.

I've been using usenet since the days of Pine (early 90s). I now use Google Groups, and I think it's fine. In fact for uk.d-i-y I think it's better, because most of questions get answered by an archive search without me ever needing to post anything. And I've ignored that message from Google too.

See previous post - you'd get a lot more stupid questions from me.

Yes it would. GG is hopeless for posting but provides a valuable archive.
But is it going to survive at all? Groups used to be one of the items on the top line of the Google home page. Then it was relegated to the 'more' menu. Recently it has been relegated further to the 'even more' sub menu to the 'more' menu on the Google front page. Not exactly auspicious.
