I know Google says their groups site is easier to use since they

find

RAH now is because I had a shortcut to it from before the time of

the

"improvement." When I look up alt.rec, there is no subcategory

called

"alt.rec.aviation., much less "homebuilt." What am I doing wrong?

Neal


Uh.... RAH stands for Rec.Aviation.Homebuilt

John



Yeah, I know......what's your point?

Neal

That you were stupid for putting ".alt"?

Agree. They are following what has become a classic pattern in the
computer industry... 'improving' themselves right out of business :-)

Maybe someday someone will open an Ebook and have it ask if they want
to read the odd pages or the even ones. Saves 50% in reading time
that way.

Thanks,Grey, but if you didn't already know about RAH, how would a
newbie know to type in rec.aviation,homebuilt? I originally found this
group by browsing. From what I see, you could never find RAH just by
looking around like before. Maybe I'm wrong. Thanks for the reply.

What about searching for "Aviation Homebuilt" on the main Goggle groups
page?

Yes !

Neal

Personally, I've never found Google useful. I've always come back to
hotbot.com advanced search...

....with an occasional check of altavista.com...

Good hunting.

You can search for "rec.aviation.homebuilt" in the main search
window.

But if you don't know the name of the group you have to find
some group in the "rec." heirachy and then click on the name
"rec.foo...." at the top of the page to get a list of other
groups, then step up or down the heirachy.

The main problem here is finding what is clickable on a webpage
that is pretty busy with lots of distractions.
