So I've just tried to send a message to the group from my phone, using
Google Groups, one of my big re-read posts. It won't let me post
anything.

Is Usenet officially shutting down? Or is Google Groups just having
one of its usual pant-crapping and drool-chinning episodes?

Piece of crap. Took me forever to type out on my phone, too.

The latter, I believe.

That's why you save it in iNotePhonePad before sending...

Right, then I will re-send.

Oh don't worry, I did that. If I have a long message to type out on my
phone I always put it in the notes application even though I don't use
iStuff. Same deal.

But then, when I copy-paste into a browser to send to the group, all
the paragraph breaks seem to cut out so I have to go through and
format it. Not such a huge pain in the balls, but a moderate one.
