Google Groups is really a copy of Yahoo but G-style and it is annoying.
And they've got so much else to play with the team assigned to it is small
and doesn't respond like the others do. No direct e-mail to them now even.
But forget combining - flush the trash outta Yahoo!, beat the party mentality
out of the staff and make them buy real servers and listen to what the Group
Owners constantly ask to have. Then you'd have the ultimate setup and
ad revenues out the wazoo. But don't tell Yahoo! that, they never listen.
Hell they won't even listen to their shareholders! LOL
