Now that they're supposed to die, I'm back here. Actually they all work the same, so who cares what the name is. Maybe those MS groups wont disappear, but I'd rather get settled here now. No sense posting to a group that may vanish any day now.

Not true actually :- I saw your test post from 2009 and checked microsoft.public.win98.fat32, and while it is not on the Microsoft, eternal and aioe servers it is still available on bigpond Telstra freenews.netfront My replies to your 11 Dec 2009 "testing" were accepted on all servers (3 Jun 2010)

What I said *IS* true, and you are admitting it. I said that those two groups (above) are NOT on aioe.org, and you say it's not true, then you say they are not on aioe.org (or eternal september) but that they are on other servers. I wasn't talking about other servers. It is true that any server operator that follows the ISC group list would have removed those groups. This is the case for aioe and Eternal September. > bigpond > Telstra > freenews.netfront > > My replies to your 11 Dec 2009 "testing" were accepted on all > servers (3 Jun 2010) That's nice. It just proves that those servers don't seem to follow the ISC group list - or perhaps they will wait until October 1 before they actually start removing the microsoft groups - or perhaps they won't remove ANY of them. Microsoft has started to remove the groups on their hit-list according to the June-1 termination date that they posted to the affected groups. They seem to be doing it in alphabetical order. Only 1 group was removed on June 1: microsoft.public.arabic.iis And 377 groups were removed on June 2, from: microsoft.public.active.directory.interfaces microsoft.public.activex.controls microsoft.public.activex.programming.control.webdc microsoft.public.ado.windowsce microsoft.public.ageofempires microsoft.public.applicationcenter.clb microsoft.public.applicationcenter.healthmonitor microsoft.public.applicationcenter.nlb microsoft.public.applicationcenter.setup microsoft.public.ar.inetexplorer.ie6beta microsoft.public.arabic.design.gallery microsoft.public.arabic.frontpage (...) to (...) microsoft.public.es.windowsme microsoft.public.es.windowsmedia microsoft.public.es.windowsnt microsoft.public.es.windowsvista microsoft.public.es.windowsxp.aplicaciones microsoft.public.es.windowsxp.hardware microsoft.public.es.windowsxp.instalacion microsoft.public.es.windowsxp.seguridad microsoft.public.es.xbox microsoft.public.es.xml

As a Win95 and 98 user I am going to read and post here, because I guess(?) those Microsoft.public groups are going to die, also on this news server. I hope that others who were posting at eg. microsoft.public.win98(and 95)gen.discussion, would also move here. See you, |
