"different"
At least it was designed to talk to usenet well (er, better), because
it *is* usenet, even though google are trying their darndest to beat
microsoft at suckiness.
It's got its own problems. Personally, I'd probably go with google
groups, and just make sure you click on "reply" instead of "reply"
(yep, two different buttons, labelled the same, with different
behaviours; one of which doesn't quote the reply when you are writing,
but the text that gets sent across the wire is top posted to an
unsnipped quoted article), and bottom post explicitly.
Personally, I wouldn't even do that. I don't know what my ISP is
going to be "up there", but if they don't have UNSENET, then I'll rant
and rave and then quietly pay my $10 a year for an individual.net
account. Oh and any ISP that tells me I can't run any servers can go
BITE MY SHINY METAL ****.

Ahaaa Tim will get a new mail addr! I have a way to go but that gives me
a chance at moving up the all time posters list. With Hippy well out of
the way that's another spot I could move up. That just leaves Tam and
Bleve. Let the spamming begin!

Just how many answers do you expect to that question? Assuming, of course
that they don't read the question as quoted in this reply.

"Night-time" means it is "turn on your (highly visible) lights-time".
