There is no possibility to add an extension to EMACS, probably to GNUS in order to use EMACS to read google groups for discussions?

Example: comp group discussions:

If you talk about *Usenet* groups, this is exactly what Gnus is about
in the first place...

,----[ (info "(gnus)Top") ]

| You can read news (and mail) from within Emacs by using Gnus.
`----

If you meant these `foo-bar-baz(at)googlegroups.com' groups, you might
have success using a web group in Gnus (`G w google RET
group:foo-bar-baz RET'...).

I got it. That is what I wanted to know. I tested it and it works nice.

Comp.* are regular Usenet newsgroups which can be read in Gnus
(M-x gnus), and almost all public computing/software mailing lists
are in Gmane, which can be read in Gnus.
