Googles I guess, I dont understand it fully. How do you get a post from here to there.
you can't the two message boards are completely separate. but several public spirited people notably Char tend to post similar messages on both
The reason Im asking is I saw threads, there that were from here, or vice versa.

And if I understand it correctly, everyone there sees your email & everything.
not quite true. although google groups require you to enter your email address when joining (so that anybody who wishes to reply to you as the author only can do so). but they very carefully remove part of every full email, address to prevent robots getting them hence your own post in fact shows only lightfoot...@hotmail.com
which is not much use to a robot
Haven't seen anyone with a code name. Do you have to use your real name there????????????????
No it is entirely optional
there are some people who post using screen names
I recall the wonderfully named poster who called himself "likes to fly Kites"!!
I haven't fully masterminded ,this one in complete and theres another one. It can drive a person, to start trying walking on walls like the flies do. LOL

Patience young man
there are in fact several characters who only post on the newsgroup and would not be seen dead over here.Both boards have their good points and bad points.The Newsgroup having been around for 13 years has a fantastic archive of opinions and comment.But you cannot edit or delete posting once made unless you appeal to google.
And binary files like pictures are frowned upon
So J-J keep practising your wall walking prowess
and taking the tablets!!
