Surprised!
When I discovered that MS keeps Win-95 and -98 NG's, while dumping Win-ME
and the German speaking IE group, I couldn't help but wonder about the reasoning behind it. Can anyone here help out with this? Harry. |

Can anyone here help out with this? AFAIK, MS is closing the slowest (least trafficked) groups first. ME and the Deutsche IE groups probably have much less traffic than the 98 general group. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Oct. 2002 - Sept. 2009 A+ http://dts-l.net/ |

This and other Win98 NGs are carried on the server nntp.aloe.org which will presumably continue to do so if msnews.microsoft.com closes completely. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

Yes, I guess you haven't read the messages posted by Microsoft in all the newsgroups for the past month. They are closing their groups gradually and hope to have them all closed by Fall. http://www.microsoft.com/communities...s/default.mspx -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Oct. 2002 - Sept. 2009 A+ http://dts-l.net/ |
