I was just trying to make sure you understood what you were using isn't the the 
where a majority of people interact with the group because you mentioned the 
NNTP group name used by the 3rd party interface was the way you determined the 
groups usage.

But if you see that as a p*ing contest given that you started throwing around 
your personal opinions of Google Groups then I guess it's best just to leave 
you to it.

Have a nice day,

Al.
