I'm starting to think I don't know enough about newsreaders. Paulie, can you explain more to help me understand why this is hard for Google Groups yet is simple for Agent or Outlook? Isn't it just as hard in Agent or Outlook to scroll through and filter out all the rubbish? Also, regarding: > Would it be possible to combine Google groups with a proper > newsreading interface [within Chrome] I think this, and really the entire post, sounds more like requesting a better interface for Google Groups, ie. for Google Groups to have a proper newsreading interface. When the Google Groups interface is improved, then it will work great for all browsers, including Chrome. So again, this sounds to me alot like an enhancement for Google Groups.
