How come there are more replies when using a newsreader

But they aren't going away. Only Microsoft's hosting them is going away.
Just use another nntp server.

It's due to longstanding (i.e., well over a year) synchronization issues
(i.e., the slave newsservers get out of sync with the master newsserver).
Access MS public newsgroups via NNTP for best reliability.

this
is related to Microsoft starting to close down the newsgroups or is
there
another reason. Thanks in advance for the replies.

the former MVPs.....
