It is deliberate IIRC. Many moons ago when I was a callous youth(ish). 
You could only access the groups with a newsreader. After a lot of 
complaints from noobs. A website with limited access was created. As for 
the Admin, he went to the darkside (photography), years ago. I think the 
site just runs on automatic until it stalls.

BTW
Using a newsreader can give you access to more groups than you can see 
on the website. And posts appear instantly you don't have to wait.
