Re: google groups and Usenet

[Robert A. Macy]

Usenet is *very* public.  I am presently subscribed through
google to several usenet groups.  The interface/operation
is not very satisfactory.  

Activity on octave is directly emailed to me and right now
it is very easy to directly email a response.  I'd dislike
losing those two abilities.  

What would be be gained by moving to "google usenet"?
