eeek what has happened to dejanews?

Google has taken over dejanews and I can't figure out how to view messages 
using fixed width (perhaps they don't know that some people want that) One 
can't search within certain dates any longer; the advanced search leaves a 
LOT to be desired....

....excerpt from http://groups.google.com/..........
: 
: Note to loyal Deja users: 
: 
: Due to time and technical constraints, it is not feasible
: for Google to maintain the interface and feature-set to
: which you are accustomed. We have been working hard to
: make this beta service available while we transition to
: a more full-featured offering. We appreciate your
: understanding and patience as we add the features you
: expect (including posting and better browsing).

are e-mailing and hit the reply button, add an "e" to "idirct";
its absence is to stop the torment of automatic mailers.
