Google-groups also archives Usenet messages which I don't
mind so much, I just find the sewgirls.com site a mostly
ad-filled, ugly site. And folks using that site to post
messages apparently must allow the site URL to be appended
to their messages. Even bad-as-they-are-google does not
make that mistake.
