Folks folks folks. The primary issue with Google Groups is that it's ugly all around, not just the signup process. This is an issue that this community (keen on fixed width fonts and cli) doesn't usually care about. But I promise you that my wife cares about something being not ugly.
- mtrimpe 14y agoTalking about not ugly; it seems that they're using a hex encoded unique identifier for the groups (see movie-talk-bfcd5ecc@breeze123.com in the comparison page.) I really don't get why people don't look into encoding designed to work well with your eyes more often. There are some pretty good and easy options out there such as ZBase32 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base32#Alternative_versions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base32#Alternative_versions)
