I use(d) Google Groups.  Not because I'm lazy, not because I don't know 
better, not because I'm a Google fan-guy.  It was easy to point a 
browser to it on my phone and skim the discussions.  I was unable to 
reply from my phone, but it prompted me to walk to my computer and 
contribute to the group.

With the Thai spam flood, I have switched to i2pn2.org and Thunderbird. 
Yeah, I know I've triggered the keyboard jackals to start complaining 
now about Thunderbird and that interface. Whatever.

I read the VSI forums more than I read here so if you want to get my 
attention, post over there.

John
