Ok, you asked for it.
I strongly suggest you get a real news reader. Google is fine as a Usenet
archive and for searching for old articles.
But their web interface (aka Google Groups) is horrible for active
participation in Usenet.
One of the most frequent complains is listed in this quote:


For [snipped] and everybody else with "User-Agent: G2/#.#":

"How can I automatically quote the previous message
when I post a reply?"

What's good 'netiquette' when posting to Usenet?

But Google needs you to vote for 'Default quoting of
previous message in replies'
