Default T-4.... Backup time!

I am not 100% sure what you are warning us about, Furball. I assume that
MS in its infinite wisdom is no longer supporting these news groups. So
we are going to lose our favourite corner to chit chat in. Damn them all
to Hell!!!! (vbg)


If you're using WinMail in Vista, and MS delete the groups - then there's a
good chance that all posts to the deleted groups will disappear!
Similar possibility in OE/Win9x or XP - dunno about other readers.
If they just switch off the servers I don't know what will happen.
If they leave the groups up but make them read-only, then things would stay
as they are at that point (so we can the see who had that LAST POST!

It all depends on one man with his finger on a button.... remind you of
something?
