Google is, kinda, a PoS for newsgroup posts. They don't get all posts
from other ISPs, sometimes don't show even posts you make if you make
them from Google (or after long delays), and I have other gripes. But,
I can hide a little more from spam.

More ideal would be a good ISP where you access with a shell account
(unix) and a unix NG reader/editor, like PINE (I use it a lot),
because you are protected from viruses, malware, spyware, rootkits,
etc. Buuuut, unless you have something like Spam Assasin (which is far
from perfect) the directory harvesters start spaming you within days.

Google gave me error messages if there were more than five crosspost
NGs present. Also, sometimes the post fails to go out (no "your post
was successful" notice). However, it is free, and I guess that is
worth something, too.

Since I have alternative ISPs that I subscribe to, sometimes I use
them to independently check on posts either by myself or others.

Also, you can tell a little bit about how far your post gets out by
what kind of response you get from other people. At least Google posts
get out better now than about two years ago when they were much worse
and I left them, then, because of that.
