I've noticed more people are posting through Google Groups lately.

I'm just wondering why people choose Google. If you are a Google
groups user, I'd appreciate if you could take a moment to respond
to the questionnaire below. Please choose only one letter. (The
one that best describes your situation).


A - I'm too poor to pay for access to a news server.

B - I'm too cheap to pay for access to a news server.

C - I find it too confusing to use a real newsgroup client.

D - What's a newsgroup client ?

E - I'm a spammer and I enjoy Google's very lax spam
enforcement policy.


Since there are free NNTP servers which allow one to post as well as read, I
cannot pick A or B.

I guess I will pick E just to get your goat.

BTW, I do use a NNTP server. My ISP provides the service, but it does not
include all the newsgroups I like, and the propagation is too slow, so I use
a free service for all but 2.
