Some helpful URLs to keep you connected to Usenet's Microsoft forums: A FREE Usenet forums feed: http://www.eternal-september.org/ A FREE Usenet newsreader: http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/ or you can use Outlook Express (the Express version, not regular Outlook) Read the FAQ at Eternal September to learn how to set this stuff up. It'll take you 5 minutes.

It appears that while most Usenet servers will honor the control messages to set up groups they don't seem to honor the take-downs.

The traditional Usenet news server admins answered they will *not* automatically remove the groups, they will however observe and decide in a few months. Two big phone/ISP companies didn't answer any mails of their customers, the third answered they will remove the groups. Two others don't have own news servers, they out-sourced their news services, and that company will not remove the microsoft groups. Helmut. |
