Google didn't invent "groups". It's just a proprietary Usenet. If you prefer reading a newsgroup, you can get just about any Linux "list" via gmane - and those of us who prefer "groups", do: nntp://gmane.linux.ubuntu.devel.discuss >>they perform their designated task far more effectively. > > More effectively based on what? in our list here, open the archive, then > choose January-2010, then choose sort by date, then open a random thread, > then press "Next" > The next one will be the next one "by thread" not "by date" as expected, > this maybe a small bug (but I don't think so) or maybe it's something that > wasn't "designated" from the beginning. and here is what I wanted to > perform: open the list-page sorted by date and read the new threads by > pressing next, next ... not by click, then back, then scroll, then click, That's a client function - my newsreader and mail client both read the "next" message by pressing the space bar. > then aahhh I opened this one before that ... then close the browser and I > don't want to read anything. what if from my simple browsing I want to > just hit reply and send, this also not in the design at all, instead I > MUST use an email client which is oh my god I was just navigating the list > from my mobile phone and it does not contains a multi-tab to open the > email in another tab without loosing this page .... Again, that's in your choice of client, and nothing to do with using Google or not. -- derek -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
