Google Groups Irregularities
There is an unpleasant property on Google Groups - and I felt its effects already twice today.
Threads on Google Groups get "closed" after some time. It means that you can not answer to the group any more, but are limited only to a private e-mail answer. ( It seems like a thread closes if there were no posts in it for a month )
While this may have been intended for a good purpose, its effects are that you get less synergy within a group and you may not share an answer to a question asked earlier on. That's a considerable limitation.
P.S. GMail also has its drawbacks, but those are in the UI mainly - this groups "feature" unfortunately has more impact.

P.S. This only refers to the Google Groups web interface. You can respond to a 'closed' thread by sending e-mail with the same subject to a google group e-mail address.
