On top of the other reported drawbacks and problems, someone once warned me that Google Groups "shares" your personal info with a lot of sales "partners," and you can expect a big increase in spam after joining. Is this true?

Help!

Progress - or lack thereof - report.

It appears that one will not be able to enjoy this list without purchasing a better computer that will handle the absolute garbage that Google uses on its web pages. I just don't trust it.

So I picked up the owner address where I asked about old fashioned SET DIGEST and the like messages. The result was not encouraging.

This is the response to the help mail address:
I would have expected a list of commands that would be honored.
