Thanks, Brian. I've looked at it. I don't see any way to see my recent
posts, which is a feature talkabout provides. I use it to help me decide
when to stop watching threads. When a thread moves of my recent posts
list, I stop looking at it. For right now, I'm thinking about it, but
it's more likely I'll continue with doing what I'm doing and then whine
about it. :-) If you know how I can access a recent posts feature on
google, then I'll probably move pretty quickly. Thanks again.

Good question. I don't used Google, as I just set up my Email/newsreader
(Mozilla Thunderbird) for direct usenet access. With Thunderbird, you
have the option of how you want to view posts (I find threaded most
useful) and you can specify to show only threads with unread posts. You
can "kill" any thread that you're not interested in with a single
keystroke. There are a lot of higher level functions that I don't need
or use, so I can't tell you what else is possible, but it may be worth a
look. The software is free, so you don't have to make any investment.
There are also many free "extensions" that add specific capabilities.
I'd be willing to bet that you can configure it to do just about
anything you want. You can get it at: www.mozilla.org
