Surely the point is that while of course using Google Groups as a
newsreader would be absurd (not sure I'd like using Thunderbird either,
mind you), it is extremely useful for /searching/ Usenet postings: it
quite often happens that a Google web search doesn't turn up much, and
you think to yourself "Hmmmm, I bet that's been discussed on Usenet in
the past...", and being able to check this by just clicking the "groups"
link at the top is a big time-saver.
