This "group" existed before "Google Groups"... This is the Usenet
comp.lang.ada news group, and traditionally is accessed using an NNTP
client connecting to an NNTP news server (which, at one time, was something

Google is merely mirroring the group in their web-based forum (which
does have many Google-only groups).
