I just want to vent on record that I think the new format of Google
Groups stinks!! There are too many frames, and they are so narrow that
it makes it difficult to see what you're typing when responding to a
post.
And what happened to the preview screen before you send a post?
A great big BLECCCHHHH! to this new format!

Access to Usenet newsgroups is generally provided by your ISP. Most
modern mail programs will allow you to read news messages (I use the
free program Thunderbird, http://www.mozilla.com/); you will probably
have to get the name of your ISP's news server and supply this name to
the mail program.

Don Stone's reply expresses it far better than I could. Though I could
add that one of the criteria for choosing an Internet Service provider
was that it provided a News feed: it makes it all so fast.
