This _is_ not Google groups. This _is_ Usenet. However you seem to use
Google's web interface to Usenet.

Valid point! I have been participating in usenet discussions for the
last 10 years almost exclusively via the web (first thru DejaNews and
then thru Google groups).
Since Google Groups has both usenet and non-usenet discussion groups,
I often don't know which one I am on (even if it says clearly at the
top of the google groups page!)

I remember getting into trouble one time because of using the terms
"forum" and "newsgroup" interchangeably.
