"MEB" wrote in message ... AND now that you've brought it Microsoft's attention, it will likely shut it down.... Only in your dreams. Microsoft has no control over Usenet As for honored; no, likely it was propagated under the impression Microsoft created it. Who cares, Usenet servers around the World are "honouring" it

Have you personally "Tested" ALL the Usenet servers available around the World? If not, then your "NO they are not..." is crap. (As you are so fond of telling others) All it takes, for your info, is for any customer of any ISP or News Server to request that a News Group be carried. I asked for my ISP to carry "alt.windows98" and they complied. I have no doubt that I could request the non "Microsoft initiated" usenet group as well.

As has already been explained to you, Microsoft has no control over what other server operators carry on their own servers. The group in question has never existed on Microsoft's own servers. There is no evidence that Microsoft has EVER cared about what the larger usenet community does or how it handles the microsoft.* set of usenet groups. Who cares, Usenet servers around the World are "honouring" it NO they are not... Yes they a http://groups.google.com/group/micro...indows7/topics Google groups (formerly deja news) is carrying it. Giganews carries it too.

They can refuse to host it on their servers, but they can't force other servers around the world to drop it. -- Tim Slattery http://members.cox.net/slatteryt
