Did you mean this site
Sorry, group joke.
And anyhow, we already have an electronics forum.

And anyhow, we already have a Somewhat Eclectic electronics forum. :-)
where's Woogate, when you need him......need some English humor here
bloody whippersnappers, trying to invent more stuff that was all ready there

So I guess it's just a bad idea to post this kind of things here lol
Nah, not bad, just take the flak
This Empire of Cyberspace is a close knit bunch of highly intelligent idiots, and Phil from Oz.
But really, what can you offer that SED can't? We are really different worlds
BTW nice graphics :)
martin
Highly intelligent idiots... you must have some knowledge about this
OK. you've seen how SED works, no silly html windows, just text
Quite effective, apart from ASCII art and Google (GooOS?)

You seem to hate Google Martin, may I ask why? lol
Ah,I'm just a miserable old git... but loads of people **really** hate the way Google hijacked the Usenet via dejanews, and called it Google Groups
martin
And what advice can you give me about the forum I am willing to run?
Porn, much more money, not as much fun though
martin
So use the search engine, which is great, and Earth, which is fabulous, and ignore their dreadful groups interface.
Their news thing (news, not newsgroup) is pretty good. For the cost of a cookie, you can have a custom news page that includes, say, science and semiconductor sections.
Their maps are good, too.

First, understand that YOU aren't posting to Google Groups. You are posting to USENET. Google Groups is one interface for doung it.
The main reason so many folks hate Google Groups is because many people who post from there are ignorant. http://66.102.9.104/search?q=cache:SXIajvWUVHAJ:groups.google.com/support/bin/answer.py=answer=12348+Summarize-what-*-*-*-*-*+remove-*-*-*-irrelevant+show-options+zz-zz+click-Reply+BOTTOM+*-*-reply-appears-*-*-*-before-the-original-*-*
--- _Willing_ to run?
It sounds like you want it to seem like you're doing the world a favor by running the forum.
My advice would be to get over yourself.

Probably because he's sane. Google encourages newbies to post stuff with no context, and to top-post, both of which are wrong.
USENET is somewhat like a BBS, but when using a real newsreader, accessing a real newsserver, it's a PITA to search through message headers to find out what you googlegroupies are talking about.
Good Luck! Rich
Why do i feel that those same people (depending on the newsreader chosen) would still top-post or post without context? I see lots of folks who can't emulate the paradigm they observe
--the majority of which DON'T post from Google. Stupid is stupid.
Google DID break the blockquoting thing which they once had implemented properly.
Instead of wasting screen space on their latest attempt to break things while adding the stupid *Rating* graphics, they should have included (on every page) a link to this: "The Do's and Don'ts of Posting on Google Groups"
