Are the newsgroups being disbanded ? In my Windows Mail I "Reset List" and
about 80% of the newsgroups disappeared.

For example, where do I go to get Excel questions answered ?

Not sure you how missed it, but here you go:

I'm not sure the C# newsgroup is the best place to ask that question.

Well, he certainly can't go to his now-missing Excel group.

Have you tried with a different NNTP server?

The expectation is that some NNTP servers will continue
to carry the groups after MS dumps NNTP.
