Peter, you can ignore Terry's "advice" if Google Groups works for you.  
There are a small number of Google haters here who seem larger due to 
their obnoxious noisiness.

I've been using Google Groups to post here for many years and with a 
little care it is usable without annoying anyone except a few drooling
fanatics.  All access methods have pros and cons (and I've posted here
about many of TB numerous cons) so if the usability tradeoff favors 
GG for you (or anyone else) I recommend you not be intimidated by
the anti-GG goon squad.
