You should only need the quickest glance round the existing postings to
see that people don't all have gmail addresses.

So why don't you do that?

Perhaps you're used to other Google groups where you can post & receive
updates by mail? (I don't know whether there are such).

The thing is, this group isn't hosted by Google, instead Google makes
available a view of the InterNet News group, and you have to use that
view in the way Google provide.
