From: Charlie Russel - MVP on 20 May 2010 10:10 I agree. And I'm going to suggest something I wouldn't normally do. MS has given us a very public email address for this change -- nntp(a)microsoft.com. I'd like to suggest that you (and anyone else who feels so motivated) to send a suggestion to that email address that addresses the problem and makes a suggestion. I've already done so, and it gives a not terribly hopeful auto-answer, but I'm assured it _is_ being read by those who are managing this. So let's push for a home. Maybe they'll listen and give it to us. Given the structure, I'd expect it to be in the Windows 7 space, since they aren't set up for one that covers multiple versions. But we could work with that. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/blogs/russel "Carlos" <Carlos(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:4CED976E-5191-4B00-99CB-3D71BB9FFC41(a)microsoft.com... > Charlie, > I cannot make up my mind which one to choose among these: > Windows 7 > - Desktop and Personalization > - Hardware and Drivers > - Performance and Maintenance > - Install, Upgrade and Activate > - Programs > > None of those fit in what we have been doing here. > 64-bit exclusiveness will also be lost. > :( > > Carlos > "Charlie Russel - MVP" wrote: > >> No, this group name won't be moving to the Forums.

From: Bogey Man on 20 May 2010 10:14 When I set up that NNTP Bridge, none of the names were the same as here and that was just yesterday. I installed it, I tried it, I hated it and then dumped it.

Charlie, I have also done my homework (e-mail to nntp(a)microsoft.com). And I did like your ancient English phrase in your other post, I could read it without the need of help. And God said: Thou shalt not kill 64-bit newsgroups! :) Carlos "Charlie Russel - MVP" wrote: > I agree. And I'm going to suggest something I wouldn't normally do.
