I suggest that you learn to read lawyerese I suggest you quote specific statements that I make and refute them directly, instead of sweeping them under the carpet. - which is EXACTLY what you just did. But you did it first. It was you that didn't respond to the material and points that I made in my previous post. And I did not sweep your statements under the carpet: There is a world of difference between "made it available to anyone on the Usenet." and actually being 'part of Usenet'. The continuance of discussing that point is, well, pointless, because it's a matter of opinion how to interpret Microsoft's wording and intention, and discussing that takes away from the more relavent points such as whether or not Microsoft was operating a true NNTP server, and if posts made to that server were being "leeched" by usenet at large. That is the point that you don't want to discuss, because I've posted overwhelming evidence that your point of view or your understanding is wrong. I only have so much breath to waste on morons - you just exhausted it for a month or two. If you choose to surrender this argument over to me, that's ok, I understand. It's hard to argue when you've been proven wrong. I will again post your thesis, and my counter-argument which you have not responded to: 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. In order for posts made via the Microsoft servers to appear on other news servers world-wide, Microsoft *must* arrange for peering with other servers. If such an arrangement was not in place, then I would not be able to see your post on the NNTP server I use (aioe.org). And you would not be able to see my reply to you, the one you are reading right now, unless the peering was bi-directional. And none of this could happen unless microsoft operated their own NNTP server, that fully impliments usenet NNTP message transport protocals. Further more, you can use any newsreader to access microsoft's nntp server directly, to read and post messages. It would also have needed to host other groups, which it certainly never has done. Anyone operating a usenet server can choose which newsgroups he will carry on his server. It's not uncommon for smaller operators to not carry the binary groups, for example, because of the bandwidth those groups consume, and the hard drive space needed for decent retention. |

Since I'm about to go to Sainsburys and Tescos (it seems) I expect I'll

Plastic jam.......(eg)
Hey......just spent Friday night in Emergency for no damn good reason. And sleeping on a gurney sux. But the doctors were amazingly good. I totally baffled these docs and I finally figured it out by googling. (2 days later).......it was, ta da.......a particular flavour of Maalox, not internal bleeding. I shall leave you to figure out what the symptoms were, seeing as this is a *family news group*, lol. Figgs "Joan Archer" wrote in message ...

So, is this Life imitating Art, or something?
Then we could segue into Pop Art and start playing with Warhol (poss. with the assistance of the Thin White Streak or whatever he is this decade). Anyway I forgot to check them out, but I'll take this as answered. Hiram Thunderbox "Heather" wrote in message ...
