While hanging out last night, as I am wont to do,

With several ex-members of the Deja crew,

I pulled Lane over and gave him the scoop

On how I would improve Google Groups.

I’d let the empowered user choose

How the browser should handle the prefix news://

By using a button on the bar, of course,

Or by using the one that’s open source.

Instead of a separate tool being launched

I’d stay right in my browser for all my alt.sex raunch.

My need for a reader would certainly cease;

I’d tell Outlook Express to Rest in Peace.
