It's just a pity that you can't doa  find whilst connected.  The
original poster may need to check the "Fetch List of All Groups" in the
connection box to get the list.  Macsoup [or Demon] does have a problem
with newgroups, whereby new groups tend to get added several times.

I don't have any problem with it either, I find it little hassle to save
