What are youse guys using for a newsreader? Mr. Bentley's name showed

I'm using Google Groups. Recently I've noticed that there are a lot of
"unknown" posters showing up, and unless they sign their post at the end,
they appear anonymous.

Probably a GG problem - so sorry if anyone is irritated by my response to
what apprear to be anonymous postings.

And please, don't tell me to change newsreader - I'm perfectly happy with
GG...!

Kirk,

Just back after a week's vacation at a soaring camp. Hadda use the FBO's CPU
for my daily RAS fix...via GG.

Back home, upon looking up/cleaning out RAS via Thunderbird (originally
downloaded via 26.4Kbit landline/modem, since upgraded), I noted: 1) lotsa
posts (whole threads!) that I don't recall even SEEing in GG; 2) the "GG
anonymous" effect; and 3) a complete absence of the "clunkiness" of reading
via GG.

The above assessment from someone others routinely describe as a voluntary
Luddite...

P.S. Does this post meet your "...don't tell me to change newsreader" wish? :-)
