Newsgroups (a.k.a. USENET) isn't Google, and does not need to involve
them at all ! GoogleGroups is only one way, and a clutsy one at that, to
access newsgroups.

Is there way to access rec.audio.pro WITHOUT Google? Pray tell.... I am ALL ears.. and eyes...

You download a free newsgroup-friendly app (like Mozilla Thunderbird (
https://www.thunderbird.net/en-GB/ ) . Mozilla is the same open-source
group that developed Firefox web browser.

Then you select a free or (minimally) paid for USENET server - I use
giganews.com )

Thunderbird is also (primarily ?) an email app but can be set up for
Newsgroups-only.

OK... so I'm an idiot! I had no idea. I searched for rec.audio.pro and it came up under a "Google Groups" link, so if figured it had been assimilated by the Borg. Didn't realize that "Google" wasn't the host, but was just a means of access. I WILL be following through.. thanks, Geoff!
