From: Daniel on
Firstly, let me apologize for making this beautiful cross-post. I know it
bad etiquette, but in this instance I'm hoping no one will truly mind (after
all MS did it with their announcement...).

I, like everyone else in this forum, owe each of the contrinbuting members a
Great Big Thank You for all the time, patiences, knowledge and experience
that you have given us over the past many years!

I would particularily like to thank, people such as:

Allen Browne
Al Campagna
Roger Carlson
Alex Dybenko
Stephen Lebans
Arvin Meyer
Graham R. Seach
Doug Steele
Tony Toews
Lynn Trapp
Joan Wild
Dirk Goldgar
Keith Wilby
John Spencer
Jerry Whittle
Dave Hargis
Albert D. Kallal
Jeff Boyce

And so many more that have directly helped me solve various problems and
give me the urge to continue learning!

It is sad to see this all come to an end in a few days and I wish you all
the very best.

Sincerely,

Daniel Pineault

I must have missed something important, why is this coming to an end?

Thank you so very kindly, it really is appreciated.

In a a few days the lights go out here. This place has been great little
kind of coffee shop in cyber space. I learned as much as I helped here.


I am giving the msAnswers group a good try. I actually becoming used to the
forum, and I think it can work out quite nice....

So, once again, thanks for the comments, it means a lot, and see you all in
cyber space somewhere. I will be in the msAnswers group if you looking for
me.....

The are moving the support forums to a web based interface. You can however
download a "bridge" if you really must use a NNTP news reader. I not really
convinced it worth it to use the newsreader bridge, but it is a option.

More and more ISP's are shutting down their newsgroup support, and few "new"
users don't even know what a newsgroup is.

Also, consider that a good number here enter posts via some kind of web
interface now. So, on June 1st, those web users will be re-directed to the
web form for access. That forum is here:

http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/addbuz/threads

For NNTP users, they have to install the bridge, or dump use of a newsreader
and use the web interface. I started using the web interface, an I am
finding I can well work with it...
