I bet a lot of readers believe that this group, uk.legal.moderated, is a Google group. It isn't, of course. And the moderators therefore have no
power to delete posts or threads that appear in the Google version of
this group.
I guess anyone who accesses the group via Google Groups will have to
consider using Usenet. Make use of a newsreader such as Thunderbird
(others are available) and subscribe to our group that way.

I use Google Groups for reading and posting. I used to use Turnpike,
so I am aware there are "proper" newsreaders. I had a look at
Thunderbird, but it seemed pretty clunky to me, Google Groups seems
much better for my purposes.

I use Google Groups for reading and posting.
Somebody in another group posted a link to a web based server if that's
your preference:

Usenet traffic is probably quite modest these days.
