The general consensus (earlier in the year, anyway) seemed to be to jump
over [back?] to comp.lang.basic.visual.misc; things do seem to be
picking up again over there.

That was fallback in the unlikely event all open mirroring servers
actually dropped the ms groups--to date, doesn't seem to be happening so
all one needs must do is point newsreader to another newsserver.

As noted elsewhere, eternal-september.org is a fairly popular choice,
aioe.org is an alternative and there's always the (ughhh!) google web
interface (which I _don't_ recommend)...

And, of course, there are any number of moderately priced to quite
inexpensive pay-for-service newsservers if one has higher need...

Note that this is more efficient:
TestHexString = "=" & vbCrLf

It uses constants and is stored as a string literal rather than a the
result of 3 function calls that are evaluated at runtime.
(It's also more explicit as to what it actually does :)

aioe.org don't carry the microsoft.* heirachy so won't be hanging on
when the groups disappear.

Interesting since I'm just now reading and replying from there... :)

I've had it as an alternate account for a couple of years or more and
have always watched all the ms groups (albeit only a few, not the entire
hierarchy by any stretch) so not sure how many are mirrored but
certainly some...
