Boy, what a surprise this morning!!

I'm in the process of setting up a mailandnews.com account so I can read rtl
at work (during lunch, of course), Google seems to have shut off most of the
Deja newsreading capability.  This sucks...

IMO this will be good in the long run. Over the past 4 years or so I
have seen dejanews/deja change change from a respectable resorce to
this scary ad infested beast that you have to jump thru hoops to find
the message you want. I like Google and their philosophy so I think it
might be extended to deja.

Agreed.  I've been particularly disappointed in the loss/lack of Usenet
archives on Deja.  What I miss now is the myDeja function.  I hope Google
can get that replaced ASAP...  Improving upon what Deja had shouldn't be too
hard.
