I've wondered , especially lately , why anyone uses google groups to read usenet . There are several free newsreaders out there , and at least 3 free news servers that I personally know of . And now I've read quite a few posts that people can't reach usenet because google is down "again" . So why ? Can someone enlighten me ?
OT Why Google Groups ?

Yesterday I almost disabled HKCMD.EXE from starting to cut down the unintended actions caused by inaccurate typing.
