On the off-chance that you're really a newbie asking how to use
GoogleGroups and not some troll kid home for the holidays fscking
around...

Use a real newsreader to access Usenet. Since you are using
GoogleGroups, you may not realize that this is really a newsgroup. You
will get far more out of this resource if you learn to use a
newsreader. There are many good newsreaders for Windows, but you can
use Outlook Express since you already have it (or Thunderbird which you
may have since you're using Mozilla or Firefox). Here are some links to
information about newsgroups:
