That Google Groups is more that a collection of Usnet User Groups.
 
And I don't dispute the fact that they are using old technologies.  They really need to get current....
 
BTW, I was playing around with computers thirty years ago too.  (Gee is that why I have all of this grey hair???)

And your point is?
That this group is forwarded to google groups, or whatever is,
does not change the fact of what the technology/software underneath
a google group is.
 
Scary thing is that i was actually in computing 30 years ago,
look at that, I just lost more hair thinking about it :-)

Not necessarily.  This list is a part of Google Groups as well as the User support mailing list for OpenOffice.org.  I would state that neither of these were around thirty years ago, although it feels that way at times.

My problem was there were two posts from the same person, the other one being the spam.

Subj: "hi people try this http://groups-beta.google.com"
was followed by his real post.

All google groups is is a front end to the 30 year old usenet news groups.

Everything old is new again.

However, the increase of that sort of thing, probably by accident, being sent to the list might spur me into changing technology somewhat.

My double layer of spam and virus killing can't really reasonably take care of that sort of thing, without blocking real posts. There are enough peices of overly paranoid spam killers out at the end users of the ARSlist sites doing that already.
