You must prefer to not have posts available if/when you're offline.  Me,
I'm always on the go and am laptop-only, so sometimes I can't connect.
My OLR lets me read and compose anywhere, anytime.  And I've tried more
than once to navigate web forums of all sorts, and none of them compare
to the ease of an OLR.

As for the cost, T-bird is free and is a nice, basic reader, along with
being a great email client.  And there are a lot of slick add-ons that
make it even better.  Pan is also free, but I've been using Agent for so
long that Pan isn't a consideration for me at this point.

But again, you're obviously happy with Google Groups, which is what it's
all about in the end.  I'm just happy that Google *seems* to finally be
addressing some of the spammers in its Groups ranks.  I know some folks
who have taken to filtering out *anything* coming from a Google Groups
poster, and I'd hate to do that, as I enjoy a lot of the conversations
that the non-spammers from there are contributing!
