     I also created a "NO GG" badge for the footer (and put it on Blinkynet, as well, linking to the new site) in the mode of the other badges from other outfits that I already had there. :)

     There are a lot of disadvantages to using googlegroups GG to read and post to usenet groups. There's the problem with the clunky interface, there's the problem with GG inability to filter some newsposts, there's the disadvantage of having to post a good address in the From, there's the disadvantage of having your connectivity IP stamped on your messages.

     Departure of GG effect will be an improvement, not a detriment. In the very early days of GG taking over Deja News, there was an improvement in the 'quality' of the archiving. Everything about GG has been steeply downhill since those early days.
