I was just wondering if you can please tell me how I can go about finding my
question that I was working on in the Microsoft Newsgroup for Windows XP
General when it went down and the answers that were provided. Can you please
tell me how I can get back to that place as I was not quite done getting all
of the answers that I needed. This is pretty important to me or I would not
be asking this at all. I would at least like to continue this before all of
it gets migrated by June 21. Thank you!

The ones on April 29 and March 13?

Keep clicking the arrow in the right end of the heading until you reach
the "page" that shows those dates in the right column. The April 29
thread was on the eighth page when I last looked. The March 13 thread is
on page 34. Note that the page numbers will probably increase as more
people create new threads. Once you locate your threads you should be
able to use your brouser's "Save As..." function (on the "File" menu) to
save the threads to your hard drive.

You are experiencing one of the reasons some people are disappointed
about Microsoft discontinuing the newsgroup interface. In newsgroup
readers like Outlook Express and Thunderbird it's very much easier to
click the "from" column heading and see all of someones posts in a FEW
seconds.

Thread titles a little more specific than "Please Help" and "Need a
Little Info" could help you find your threads easier.

Enter your name (which you were using) in the box top/right "search
this group" and all your "previous" will appear.

The easiest and best way to find newsgroup messages is with
googlegroups advanced search.

If it dont work with your newsreader, you know you can go to google
groups and read old messages.

One thing about using Agent, I can download all messages for the last
few years and save all of them. Just depends how far my news provider
saves them. I do suspect google groups will keep them, unless google
sold out to MS, which I dont doubt.
