Greeting from the other end of the Commonwealth, Terry. I too had
problems accessing all the Google news groups after the new format was
implemented. I think I have this right: from the Google home page,
click on "groups" and log in or whatever it's called. With some
noodling around, maybe through "my groups," you can select the various
NGs you want, including misc and tech. Once I did that, I could both
read and post, as in former days. --Roy Zipris
