How about you take a chance and let us know who you are?

Do you walk around with a paper bag over your head in public?

Hard to take someone seriously if he is anonymous...

Ps: It's spelled "lose"

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...

Bob W.

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

Darn, Bob, you are applying peer pressure - I may just have to try something better. Grumble...

Anyway, sorry if I've inadvertently dissed some of you guys!

Cheers,
