You could go to Google Groups Advanced Search and look for your name.
The reason you are having difficulty is that you are using the web
interface, which is the worst and clunkiest way to access these
newsgroups. It is better to use a real newsreader instead. Here's
information about that:

Since you are using the web interface, you may not realize that this is
really a newsgroup. You will get far more out of this resource if you
learn to use a newsreader. There are many good newsreaders for Windows,
but you can use Outlook Express since you already have it. Here are
some links to information about newsgroups:

Best method is to use a proper newsreader program instead of the inane
web interface provided by Microsoft.

I use both Agent and Outlook Express (for different newsgroups) and I
have both of these configured with rules that automatically place a
"watch thread" flag on any messages that I have posted or responded
to.

Using the web interface the best method would probably be to use the
"search for" option and look for messages with your username.

Good luck
