Google Groups is, in part, a poorly implemented interface to Usenet,
which predates it by several decades. Most of us here don't use Google

I paid much less than that, but ISO doesn't consult me regarding their
pricing policies. No, I can't lend it. But even though I have a copy
of the official standard, I usually use N1570.
