From: Unknown on 17 Jun 2010 11:01 You apparently get your jollies off calling others HoopleHead. It's a reflection of your personality. How many friends do you have? One? two?

If you're using a real Usenet service then you can keep using these microsoft.public groups, there is no better Usenet group for XP. Eternal-September is part of that FREE groups - and you get what you pay for. -- 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.

So you still pay for it, but don't get it, unless > you join a free news server like eternal-september. Actually, you will find that they never specifically stated you would keep Usenet forever - they can change their contracts any time. -- 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.

You are still posting through Microsoft's server. Path:...!TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl The first node (rightmost one as each peering node gets prepended in this list) shows the host from which the post originated; i.e., to where you posted. Again, that's Microsoft's NNTP server. You are NOT posting here using the NNTP server from Eternal-September. Did you even define a news account in OE for their NNTP server? Usenet has been around for 30 years. Microsoft tried to usurp Usenet back in 2006 and now they are leaving. |
