I'll email you directly.

Re my email address: I didn't realize that it must not always show up as a "from:" in the header of a newsgroup post. I don't use Google Groups much, so I didn't notice that a poster's email addresses probably doesn't show.

I munged my email address for newsgroups years ago by inserting "DUMPTHIS" in it to try and minimize the amount of spam I receive from robot spammers.

It didn't show up for me either until I hit reply, then it was there.

I'm using SeaMonkey and Giganews for my newsgroup efforts and I see a header on every post giving me:

Subject:.... From: (Poster's email address) Date and time: Newsgroup name:

It doesn't show for me even when I reply to Jeff's posts in GG. I see it in your post because it showed up for you and was then quoted along with the rest of the text.

People bitch at us Google Groupers, but I don't worry about it. Let 'em bitch.

I can't install a newsreader at work, so I'm forced to use GG during the day (unless I want to actually work).

Since GG keeps track of what I've read, I can log into any browser on any computer or my iPad or phone and pick up right where I left off, at work, at home or on the road.

Google keeps track of what everyone read.

I used to set the "no archive" bit in my news reader but Google won't show those posts at all. I guess they can't be trusted not to archive them. I turned it off because several GG folks complained

OK, three of the four GDO remotes are on their way to folks from this group who can use them them. I still have one Craftsman remote with 9 dip switches inside. If anyone else needs it send me your address and $5 through PayPal to cover the packaging and USPS postage and it's yours.
