Well, until this little little fiasco, the groups-beta.google.com has
been great.

It's been a long time since I've had an ISP that provided me NNTP
acccess, so I've been using gliderpilot.net and more recently google
groups, now that it shows "no archive" posts for a limited time. Used
to use 'rn', but that was when there was only rec.aviation without any
subgroups. Now I use several computers during the day, so a web based
reader works best.
