If you had worked out how to use google groups properly, you would

If you're as smart as you think you are, you know that Google doesn't
set the accepted standard of manners for Usenet. You'd also know that
Google's arbitrary change is a recent meausre, and that previously it
did adhere to accepted standards.


Be fair to Google - they are, as far as News is concerned, catering to
the moron market; and meaningless no-quote articles can be ignored more
efficiently than meaningless full top-quote ones, so their decision may
on the whole be an advantage to us.
