Not only is special registration and sign in needed, it will be a quagmire to try and find groups and navigate through them. And, MS is going to have 2 bridges now, instead of one, for those who want to use a NNTP newsreader. Good luck with that. -- Tom [Pepper] Willett Microsoft MVP - FrontPage Since 1997 --------------------------- : -- : Neural Planner Software Ltd www.NPSL1.com : EasyNN-plus.
