Why not use Google Groups when you're "on the road"? I realise a lot
of Usenet old-hands dislike Google Groups. But I use it, and Roy's
posts don't "push the normal posts off the bottom end".

You may not like Roy's posts, but COLA isn't here to cater to your
wants. I'm not interested in /everything/ that Roy posts, but I
certainly find some of the stuff comes up with interesting. And it's
