Default Update - Microsoft Responds to the Evolution of Community

In the meantime, MS's closure of their servers may well precipitate
a domino effect on the leeches


It's funny that you call the rest of usenet "leeches".


MS has never declared its servers as being part of Usenet - it's simply
allowed Usenet to leech posts ( it reduces bandwidth, after all), and feed
responses to its own groups.
To be part of Usenet, it would have had to acknowledged the UseNet
protocols - which it never has done, AFAIK. It would also have needed to
host other groups, which it certainly never has done.
