Google Groups Rating System

I just notice Google Groups now has a "rating" system for usenet posts. You can rate each post from 1 to 5 stars and (presumably) the average for the thread shows up in the listing. Cool. Give your faourite posters the thumbs up and your not so favourite ones the thumbs down!

Who uses google groups?

(I'll answer that: Noobs who don't understand usenet, and who think that "The Internet" is "The Web".)

Web based groups (and email) is very handy for those who often use multiple machines. I used to use a proper newsreader program and an email client but have now switched entirely to web based and have never looked back. I can freely move to any machine and have everything available. Not as versatile in feature set as dedicated programs, but good enough, and ohh so handy.

** Might as well go about wearing a hat with a propeller on top - as post on usenet with "gmail" and "googlegroups" in the header.

Then Dave probably does.

And your simpler and easier solution to running groups and email on multiple machines in any location is?...

I use gmail as my usenet email contact now to avoid spam (and I get almost none on that account, so gmail works well to avoid usenet spam). My regular email runs on my own web server. I used to use an email client but found it annoying that I couldn't access the inbox from another machine, so now just leave it all on my web mail server. Nice and convienient, can be accessed from anywhere.

Then as dopey f****it like Dave probably does.

He needs the propeller for everything that goes right over his pointy head.

A propellor on a hat is one thing, a prepuce for a forehead is something else.

Maybe he will stalk the ones at the local Brisbane primary next.

Be more his intellectual level.

Yep, he sure is. Cut 'n' pasting the same inane drivel from thread to thread and group to group. All the hallmarks of his bum buddy Roddly Doddly.....

Have you given any thought to the possibility it might not be PA's address?

Only the actual flat number needs to be confirmed. The rest is accurate. Anyone from Sydney want to knock on the door and find out?

It's the red brick block of flats straight over the road from the Catholic Church. BTW WES components is at the top of the street so you may see him walking (he doesn't have a car or license) home with a new toaster element ;-)

Can't knock on his door as there is security door at both entrances.

Well why not rattle his garage door (furtherest on left) and see if he comes running out. He just may think someone is after some of his antique lo-fi or a toaster ;-)

BTW he has all of a sudden gone very, very quite. Probably out seeing if his old flat in Lackey street is vacant again ;-)
