Jason, You should also be aware that there are a number of people here such as myself that use Google Groups for various reasons and there is concurrently some discussion of this in other threads including the correction of just plain erroneous info about GG that has been propagated here. AFAIK, there is no real definition of "regular" nor any count of how many of them (whoever "them" is) that ignore GG. Pretty obviously "crap user interface" is in the eye of the beholder and the login requirement is a personal issue. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
