It's due to the new Google Groups interface. They started forcing everyone =
to use the new buggy version about a week ago EVEN THOUGH the old interface=
 is just fine. Another bug: If you look at the text i quoted you will see H=
TML character references. Usually i clean the text before posting but somet=
imes i forget.

Google is starting to SUCK!

You know, i really went out of my way to support Google for many years even=
 though i knew they were spying on me. But since they were giving me "inter=
esting software" for free, i did not mind so much. But now they have droppe=
d great software and refuse to maintain the software they do have.

Their online docs were a great idea, but have you ever tried to use the doc=
s interface for anything serious? S-U-C-K-S!=20

Seriously, i can see Google going the way of yahoo soon. Heck, i even use B=
ing as my search engine now. I MUST be a disgruntled customer if i am using=
 the search engine of the evil empire!

It was a nice run Google. We had good times and bad times. A few smiles and=
 cries.=20
