I've been posting the playlists for my show, Play I Some Music, in rec.music.reggae for many years
Verizon has dropped the UseNet from my home connection, so I've used google groups for the last few years
Since April, I can no longer post to google groups
my posts appear for a few minutes an then disappear
google wants users with problems to join a special group and post there
that post never appeared
when you use google groups, you can check a box when your posting to have a copy of your post sent to your registered email address
this feature works
when you look at the help section in google groups they make it clear that they do not want to be contacted except for legal issues
the excitement builds
