I opened a new tab and Google Groups no longer has the option of returning to classic format. Damn Google Groups!
Why do they care? The old and new format seem to work with the server the same. I am posting this on an old tab. They add ?oldui=1#! followed by the group name to get the classic interface. It won't load fresh, but it continues to work.
Ggggrrrr, dang Google Groups!

Sure. Once you sign up on ES, it'll show you the newsgroup list. I use ES, AIOE, and Supernews.

AIOE is free and Thunderbird works good enough for me. I like the filters and the ignore thread features.

I tried T-bird thinking if it worked out for newsgroups I could try it for my email. I never got confident enough to switch from the old standby Eudo ra. Good thing. Eventually T-bird took the crap and with the poor support it never resumed working. I was able to read the files into Sea Monkey as they have a common code base, but a year or so later IT took a dump. I ga ve up and decided Google groups is good enough.
Well, now Google Groups has taken a dump!!!
I've given it a try and it does so much poorly that it's a real piece of... work. They don't give a mode for viewing in a mono font anymore I think t hey call it "Show Original". It's in the menu, but greyed out for these gr oups, apparently to protect users privacy. Google has no concept of usenet .
Pure idiots. I would say they are worse then the ultra-right posters here, but I don't want to offend the ultra-right posters that badly by suggestin g there is a comparison.
BTW, one of the youtube videos someone posted suggested I watch a Craig Fer guson video with Alice Eve... OMG!

I've always used Outlook Express on Windows XP which has now moved into Hyper-V on Windows 10. I have other software which occasionally requires use of XP.
I don't care much for Google but they are hard to avoid.

T Bird is undergoing a change. It's up to 83.0b3 (64-bit) I guess I'm on the beta update channel.

But the larger pint on screen suits me fine. GG is not all bad, except for the brain dead trolls it invited onto usenet.

This reminds me of a Randy Newman song asking God....

Google gets little to noth Man means nothing he means less to me Than the lowliest cactus flower Or the humblest Yucca tree He chases round this desert Cause he thinks that's where I'll be That's why I love mankind

I just returned to Thunderbird for the first time in 10 years, the web interface for Google Groups just gets worse and worse

My internet provider xs4all.nl just has an associated mailserver webmail.xs4all.nl and an nntpserver news.xs4all.nl. Is that uncommon?
