From: Bill on 30 May 2010 16:00 Earthlink reports that: "We do not peering those group from Microsoft's NNTP" and "Do not worry at all." While the chat didn't articulate Earthlink's intentions in detail, they insisted (my words) that Earthlink had no intentions of dropping Nag's because of anything Microsoft was doing with their NNTP servers.

From: Bill on 30 May 2010 16:03 :) my spell-check must have screwed with NG's, as I know I didn't type "Nag's".

Well, I suppose "nag" might be correct considering the poster supposedly representing Microsoft that keeps reposting his "final" notice of closure of a newsgroup in an obviously ploy to get noobs to move from Usenet to Microsoft's limp web-based forums. It's a final notice. It's really final. It's really really final. It's really really really final.
