So we have about 1400 people in a short period of time that like
forums and how no where else to go. I for one hate, despise, loath and
in general just don't like google groups. I like the general layout of
other web-forums like wine-forum however. All google groups gives us
is a gateway to wineusers newsgroup which has been around forever and
a day. I propose we make the gateway on wine-forum so it will have a
much more sane layout. Then it won't disrupt the existing userbase of
fragmented forum usage while adding a valuable service to the
community. Evidently an equal number of people prefer the wine-forum
to posting on google groups so the only solution I see is to add a
news gateway to wine-forum so it can access the same content....

Unless you have the power to make google groups not suck.
