Its a bug, or its a bug google chooses to promote dead threads. They drive traffic to dead out of date threads on google groups but prevent someone replying with the current status on the sunject of a thread.
if you use a stronger email client and subscribe an email client to a thread its easy to resurrect a thrread. I usually just hit reply to author but instead send it to the group. It makes it a lot easier to continue tracking a live thread google has decided is dead, and it makes it easy to quote a code snippet or bug report. But I still love poor google groups. I can't pick a better client side solution for most uses. On Dec 27 2009, 8:11 am, "Maps.Huge.Info (Maps API Guru)" <[email protected]> wrote: > It's a feature.
