That's because Google Groups, in their infinite wisdom, chose not to
send me the message to which you refer. If I check in "RecGroups" it IS
there.

Why use Google Groups at all?

It's interface is poorly designed, and it's slow. There are a multitude
of free Usenet servers available. All you need is a newsreader--stand
alone (free ones available) or in combo with another app, usually an e-
mail client. Once you get used to it, you'll never go back to Google
Groups, and will wonder why you ever used it in the first place.
