RAH newsgroup

I know Google says their groups site is easier to use since they
revamped it, so I guess I'm missing something. The only way I can find
RAH now is because I had a shortcut to it from before the time of the
"improvement." When I look up alt.rec, there is no subcategory called
"alt.rec.aviation., much less "homebuilt." What am I doing wrong?

the alt doesn't belong there. Easiest way is to go to groups, type
rec.aviation.homebuilt and click search. Then you get another screwed
up page, but you should be able to figure out how to deal with that.

Uh.... RAH stands for Rec.Aviation.Homebuilt

Thanks,Grey, but if you didn't already know about RAH, how would a
newbie know to type in rec.aviation,homebuilt? I originally found this
group by browsing. From what I see, you could never find RAH just by
looking around like before. Maybe I'm wrong. Thanks for the reply.

No, I agree 100%. I'm amazed at how completely they bungled what seemed like
a simple service. Time to short the stock I suppose.

Google is sorta thoroughly screwed. I stopped using it when this so
called beta came up. Had to break down and get a real news server, I
can even get the binary groups. (alt. binaries.sounds.midi for the
wise asses that are going to have comments.)

Agree. They are following what has become a classic pattern in the
computer industry... 'improving' themselves right out of business :-)

it's in the rec.* herarchy, NOT the alt.* herarchy.... that's where you
messed it.

OK, I think I get your point. Same thing the other guys were telling
me. For some reason I thought rec. was a subtopic of alt. I see now
that it's not. Thanks guys. Even, though, it's still not as easy to
get to as it once was.
