I don't see a new group on my NNTP server. How do I read the new group

You can't.
I was pretty sure that was the answer ... the question was mostly
rhetorical.
Maybe everything posted to the Google CSA2.Announce should be cross-posted
to CSA2. :-)
I guess I like my internet to be as "retro" as my Apple][. :-)  Siggghhh ...
the internet moves one step closer to being a "Google World" ...

It could be worse, they could have set up a facebook page for
announcements.

Not to bash the idea of an announce group, but I didn't think csa2 was
that overrun.  Maybe just adding [announce] to the subject line?  I'm
slightly averse to adding another low bandwidth group to the list of
subscribed groups.  But that may just be me.


I completely agree, Dave.  As I've expressed before, *anything* that
further fragments the already small Apple II community is more of a
problem than a solution.

That is particularly true since what apparently inspired this creation
was actually a remark made in jest!
