Hold on. What is a 'proper' newsgroups and/or a 'proper' answer?
Who, other than the poster, is qualified to detemine what is
'proper'?

Yes, some people can always find something to complain about :-)

As for having to spend a lot of time digging out my article, isn't
this normal for the net? I reading fj.misc, fj.news.group and 48
newsgroups in English. I'm always having to sort through lots of
stuff that I'm not interested in...

Yeah, one look at the screen (1/10th of a second) and you know the
difference between English and Japanese! 

>P.S. Sorry, I can't responed to you till about 8/8.
