+
+As a followup to my previous rant_ on the locked-in nature of the Google
+Groups, I have created this `Python script`_ for scrapping the messages
+from Google webpages.
+
+Thanks to `Sean Hogan`_ for the first inspiration for the script. Any
+comments would be welcome via email (I am sure you can find my addresses
+somewhere on the Web).
+
+**Update:** Apparently_, scrapping_ is not the same as scraping_. And
+although, there are some_, who wouldn’t mind, I am able to do just the
+latter.
