Perhaps, but I'd love to read an explanation of why, if that's he case.
If I were to were to switch to using a gmail address here, I'd be the
same person posting the same things, and there would be the same reasons
to killfile or tag my posts as there are now.

OTOH, if I were to switch to posting via Google Groups, it would
indicate I've suffered massive head trauma. Now, whether that would make
people more or less inclined to read my posts I have no idea.

I _read_ from Google groups on the (extremely) rare occasion when
Astraweb is down; I don't think I've ever posted from there ... can't
tell, I don't think I can search on that.

I use their search features sometimes.

Hmm... Well, posts from there have their own User-Agent header. I don't
know if that would help.
