With Google Groups severing its connection to Usenet today[*], newsgroup

PuTTY users to help each other with common problems, that would be
fine with us, though the PuTTY team would almost certainly not have the
time to read it. It's probably better to use one of the established
newsgroups for this purpose (see \k{feedback-other-fora}).
