    Around the time of GG (Groups.Google) going away, I seem to remember a (German?) guy setting up a site to read Usenet posts.


    Another (very minor) minor inconvenience about NewsGrouper.org
    is.......

    that

    1. i search for (e.g.) posts in Alt.Test matching a pattern

    2. i open and see a post

    -------- from this Screen, I can NOT reply (followup) to the Post

    because the [Reply to the Post] button is missing
