Looks like Microshit's news server is finally dead

[98 Guy]

I don't know exactly when it happened (could have been yesterday, could
have been a few weeks ago), but msnews.microsoft.com doesn't seem to be
carrying any newsgroups. It's still on-line, but not carrying any
groups.

[RockyTSquirrel]

and that’s a problem because?
(we knew it was coming)

They have also stopped posts to the Private server, that Was being used
for people to design OE wall paper etc.

?Why are you surprised, we all knew it was going to happen so have made the
necessary changes and gone elsewhere for the same groups.

Normally, people put question marks at the end of sentences.

And I didn't say I was surprised. I just posted a piece of information.

Why are you people getting all bent out-of-shape?

I guess running Windows ME makes people act and think strangely.

[Heather]

Hey Mr. Dickhead.......we Latinos put question marks at the beginning and
the end of a sentence......but I can't expect you to know something like
that.........you still use windows 98.

And FYI......none of us run WinME because we *moved on up* to newer
operating systems.

So go away and play with your obsolete piece of equipment.........and your
computer too. (G)

We have been "meeting" here for at least 10 years, back when we all were
using WinME, so it is natural that we still meet here. I would assume you
have friends in your 98 group that you enjoy being with.

I have been on Facebook for 3 or 4 years. Probably longer than you have.
It's not all that, frankly. But for my hobby/business, it comes in handy

Does that answer your questions? I figure it is too hard for you to use a

I don't know exactly when it happened (could have been yesterday, could
have been a few weeks ago), but msnews.microsoft.com doesn't seem to be
carrying any newsgroups. It's still on-line, but not carrying any
groups.

I've seen newsservers closedown. When you try to access them they say
nothing's there. With Microsoft there is still a newsserver but it doesn't
have any groups.

If a newsserver exists but doesn't have any groups is it still a newsserver?
