Gosh, the world > didn't end after all. You are posting using Eternal-September who has already declared that they will NOT be dropping the microsoft.public.* newsgroups. They don't care about some self-appointed rogue spewing out 'rmgroup' control messages (and I haven't heard that anyone official rep from Microsoft is doing this).

Agreed, I am merely citing a statistic as I find it. Sort of like watching a balloon deflate. As I post this the count is 1606 groups remaining.

Your observation is flawed, depending on what you're trying to say to the Usenet community. -- You can't trust your best friends, your five senses, only the little voice inside you that most civilians don't even hear -- Listen to that. Trust yourself. spam999free(a)rrohio.com (remove 999 for proper email address)

My observation is not flawed. It's an observation. Your conclusion about its meaning is flawed. The Microsoft server is losing groups per their policy of deleting the least active groups first. It is abundantly clear that the servers on the rest of Usenet are not following the policy, per the arguments and predictions presented previously. |
