Looks to be an IE 6 problem. In IE6 it won't work - but it works
perfectly in Firefox.

I'm not sure I even understand your statement, sorry Tom. Just note
that the number of subscribers means absolutely nothing in a
non-moderated forum. This is Usenet, not a private group. Bots
subscribe to google groups for the sole purpose of automated email
address harvesting and cross-posting to private ad-supported sites.
For many reasons, any count of participants you see related to a
usenet forum are at best "curious", oftentimes "interesting", never
truly "informative".

Hi Jeremy - this is not a google group it is the usenet group for
comp.databses.pick, google allow the google groups UI to also view and
update usenet. S there is no moderator or google setup for this group,

That's an interesting perspective too. Despite the moans and groans
of the world at large, the complaints of instability, insecurity,
incontinence, infidelity, and insanity that supposedly all comes with
using Microsoft products - the fact remains that people are going to
move to Vista before they get a Linux box. If the Linux world would
just grow up and solve the problems they pretend to solve then we
would be gearing up to support KDE or Gnome for Grandma instead of
Vista.

Agreed. In spite getting my dad a Mac in the earlier years, I have
spec'd Windows boxes for my parents, kids, and others for over a
decade. My sister loved her Mac until OS X, at which point I think
she said something about how it stopped understanding her. I'm sure
she will stick with it and I'm guessing I would like one myself. But
Windows still rules for me on the personal computer, even if I would
opt for *nix on the server.

As long as we're talking nitpicky UI, does it bother anyone that on the Mac
you can only resize a window at the bottom left corner, unlike on the PC
where you can drag any side or corner? This one thing, coupled with the Macs
apparently arbitrary sizing of new windows (i.e. , not sizing as of last
usage) make it impossible for me when my wife wants me to look at some
browser thing on her Mac. Takes me 3 times as long to do anything.

In general, even after having used the Mac off and on enough that I'm no
longer a novice, I much prefer the PC. Even the fact that the Mac does its
fancy thing when it min/maximizes windows bugs me, it's a 1/2 second of my
time wasted.

Of course, it's quite possible that all these are preferences (my wife does
not know.) But with no manual and no online faq and no service help, it's
difficult to figure out.

Google's UI.
I figure I was on-topic.

Its probably a case of groups created in Google that have modorator
specified
settings. It not something I've looked into in any depth.

In any case the click drag resize is working now. I click on the
divider and a little read tab is set.
If I slowly move the mouse with no buttons down I can nudge the
divider left & right.
Then click and unset the red tab.
Weird!
