    Dear Luc,
    great to hear from you. We met in Strasbourg a decade ago.
    I personally use "eternalseptember.org" to use this group.
    After registration, it is available using an NNTP reader.
    I use Thunderbird to read it and it feels like E-Mail with the same
    features, expect, that you can not delete posts.

    Otherwise, there is the tkchat. I suppose, this would also be great for you.

    Take care,
    Harald

    Note: this is a usenet group, not a "Google" group. Google Groups is just a NNTP UI (and not really a very good one, from some points of view).

    There are any number of still surviving NNTP services out there. Google Groups is only one (free) NNTP service provider (and hardly the best). There are many others, some free, some paid. There are (still) a selection of NNTP reader applications available as well.

    Then don't use google groups to access a Usenet group.

    Pick and use a real Usenet client:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Usenet_newsreaders

    And sign up for a Usenet account. Two free options are:

    https://www.eternal-september.org/

    https://www.aioe.org/

    Google groups, in this case, is just a very low quality web interface
    to this Usenet newsgroup.
