You do not need a Google account to search the archives, either. It has
always been this way. Nothing has changed in that regard.

You do not need a Google account to view Youtube.

I said "signed into YouTube".

That doesn't make good sense. If you're trying to say that you need a
Google account to sign into Youtube, that's incorrect - you do no. Nor
do you need one for a new account. It has always been that way. Nothing
has changed in that regard.

Clearly you have a reading comprehension problem, Boy.

Clearly you have a variety of problems, little lady.

Maybe you don't in Germany, Boy, but now we do in the United
States.

Try doing a little research before you look stupid.

Very easily found on YouTube's website...

"Please review the Google Terms of Service and YouTube Terms of
Use below"

"By clicking 'I accept' below you are agreeing to the YouTube
Terms of Use, Google Terms of Service..."

"You now need to use your Google Account password when signing
into your YouTube Account."

"YouTube is no longer a stand-alone account. YouTube becomes a
service attached to the Google Account."

If you are trolling for answers, Boy, you're welcome.

Apparently so, because your claim is wrong. You do not need a Google
account to search Google Groups, nor do you need one to sign into
Youtube.

Boy, cope with it. I've been troubleshooting PC stuff probably
since before you were born.

And breaking them in the process, it seems.

Maybe you don't in Germany, Boy, but now we do in the United

I have no idea what's going on in Germany, and I doubt it's relevant
to this issue.

Try doing a little research before you look stupid.

Try searching Google Groups without being signed into Google.

Yes, it was:

You're plain wrong. It's no big thing to be wrong sometimes. No need
to puff yourself up like a blowfish, just admit it and move on.

A persistent ****turd (apparently from Germany) who simply refuses
to acknowledge the fact that you need a Google account to sign
into YouTube.

You have been proven wrong yet again. Get over it. Move on.

Google is the Usenet archive.

Some sites and/or people archived some material, but it was never
wholesale until dejanews came along in 95 or 96, at which point they
started archiving from that point on. When they failed, google bought up
the archive, and at that point was able to add in messages from what
somehad been archiving.

There is no other copy of that archive google keeps.

Not likely. Someone would have to be 36, and given IBM's corruption of
"PC" it might be as young as 30. Usually when people boast like that, they
aren't actually as oldtimer as others. The wording gives it away.

You just revealed yourself. You think he's in Germany because he's
posting from a German newssever? You are clueless, individual.net
is in Germany, but it's a very well known server that people can access
from anywhere. You do have to get an account, and I can no longer
remember if they changed things so no new accounts are issued. There was
some change at some point.

If you didn't know about it, then that is an indicator that you aren't
what you claim to be.

I forgot that Google also offers disposable email addresses.

Not so disposable now that they require verification with a working
cellphone number.

They don't.

There is the option to do that, I thought specifically for gmail. Since
people let their email pile up at gmail, and since they use gmail for
everything, it can be a great source of information about someone, the ads
along the side may even help to point to useful information. Hence some
may find the need for additional security useful, especially the types
that will fall for email phishing.

Google is the Usenet archive.

Google is a company, Mickey, Google maintains a public copy of
UseNet posts.

Some sites and/or people archived some material, but it was
never wholesale until dejanews came along in 95 or 96,

Any organization can keep a copy of UseNet posts. The fact that
DejaNews kept a public copy does not exclude any other business or
individual from keeping a private copy of UseNet posts.

at which point they started archiving from that point on. When
they failed,

You think that DejaNews failed because they sold their copy of
UseNet posts to Google, Mickey? If they did not declare
bankruptcy, then typically they are not considered to have failed.

Or maybe it's a language problem.

google bought up the archive, and at that point was able to add
in messages from what somehad been archiving.

Sounds like wiki**** gibberish to me, Mickey.

There is no other copy of that archive google keeps.

Says who, Mickey? Our United States government almost certainly
keeps at least one copy of UseNet posts. I would also bet that
some big corporations/individuals keep copies, probably Microsoft
for one. In any case, you have no way of knowing that other copies
do not exist, and nothing technical or legal prevents that.
