Be interesting to see if their NNTP gateway is of any value. Then you can continue to make sense of the flat-style forums they use. Shows how Microsoft hasn't a clue about security. They think that they will wrest control of the microsoft.* newsgroups away from Usenet by hiding them in forums. Yet Microsoft has no control over what newsgroup that other NNTP servers choose to continue carrying. Microsoft assumes that making users register to use the forums will reduce spam and trolls. For spam, blocking Google Groupers would've eliminate a LOT of noise. For trolls, oh yeah, like registering for a *free* account is really going to keep them out, uh huh, for sure.

From: LD5SZRA on 9 May 2010 00:05 I very much hope so because I have created a filter to kill them off before they reach my computer and so I haven't seen anything from them for about a month. Please let me know if they have all been released from their onerous responsibilities to bully, abuse and insult all Micro$hit customers. I need to remove that filter if they no longer exist on this planet. Are you missing them? I haven't missed them at all. In fact I was very contented without them. In my country we don't have anybody in effective power because our election last Thursday produced nobody with majority seats (326 required to win). So news media is keeping me very busy because they are more interesting than these newsgroups! hth Marcus wrote: > > Well, have they? -- THE INFORMATION IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
