I was in the same position a while back.  The only solution I found was 
to exit Google Groups and use a newsreader.  I'm using Thunderbird and 
www.eternal-september.org  It is not the end-all be-all of newsgroups, 
but it works... much better than Google Groups.

Another reason to not create a group in Google Groups is because it will 
*only* be readable in Google Groups.  A Google group isn't visible in 
newsgroups.
