Yes, I was using the old Google Groups.  I did get a response by trying 
again a minute or so later but it was still very tardy.

There was a pile of messages saying "loading" or similar (Google insists 
on giving me the German equivalent unless I leave cookies switched on).

It was also coming up with disturbing number of "post was deleted" (my 
translation) items.
