No argument. I'm only saying that, assuming Verizon is his ISP,
news.microsoft.com is contained within his 40,000 (or whatever it is) entry
"usenet download" to the Verizon server.

Yes, I checked it under Tools/Newsgroups in OE. You can access it either
way, but the checkmark is under the news.microsoft.com server account, not
news.verizon.net.

Longshot, but maybe OP's problem is that he hasn't unsubscribed from a

they offered. News.microsoft.com was retained.

It's not really a question of removing the extensions. I use SeaMonkey

is sometimes different than in FF. But with either...

unwieldy and out of control. Kind of reminds me of Microsoft and their
eternal cross platform compatibility headaches that defy a...

Quantative Measure of People Still Using 98?

Microsoft has two other post-Win98, pre-XP operating systems you neglected

Is this a creative writing exercise?
