I keep making posts through Google Groups and they keep disappearing. So one of the car-haters (probably Crapman or Nobby "Not Applicable" "Narcotics Anonymous" Anderson) has obviously started haxx0ring into GG and intercepting posts which contain Inconvenient Truths. Or maybe GG is just even more up the spout than it was (it hasn't been displaying all posts in "tree view" for months in "old" mode, and I refuse to use the "new" mode as it is just *stunningly* poorly designed...an undergraduate could have done a far better interface...how can a corporation like Google make something with such piss-poor usability?)

Anyway, let's see if this one makes it through. Otherwise it may be time to finally bother setting up a client on this computer. But GG me or is everything shit (and becoming shitter by the minute)? Why is nothing designed properly anymore? Even red traffic lights come under this category: apparently, when you don't view them through a piece of glass (e.g. a windscreen), the wavelength is too long for many people to see at all, and that's why >70% of cyclists (but only <10% of motorists) regularly sail through (infra-)red lights.
 * should* be adequate for occasional posting, and once was. Is it just

(Have Dell just taken over Google by any chance...?)
