I also used Google groups, too lazy to investigate anything else.

But when they shut that down it took me about twenty minutes to get the 
seamonkey groups page going.  Speaking as a cranky old guy who can get 
very annoyed with software choices, I have to say that it was a painless 
experience.

I have not really explored its possibilities, barring the kill file 
which I use to make groups other than this one more readable.

Though a surprising number of trolls vanished with google, unable to 
figure out how to get back to these groups.
