If needed I can change the killfile rule so that it doesn't apply to a particular group, but I haven't had any reason to do that yet. Since I live in Minnesota, I probably won't need to be running JStrack -- unless things go far worse far faster than even the most pessimistice climate models. :) Is the Google Groups WebUI the only way you can post to a google groups list?

They offer a web UI, but you don't actually have to use it -- you can subscribe to it using any e-mail address by using the usual sort of e-mail command and never have to touch the web UI if you don't want to.
