And I routinely find better answers for contemporary computer
problems in Google Groups rather than web sites...  but I agree
that usage has diminished, apart from the pic and movie groups.

A larger similar question looms in my mind - places like Yahoo
Groups.  There's no mechanism for archiving those messages, is there,
apart from someone keeping all the messages they receive?
