Using other servers (I use individual.net, I've seen reports from cox.net and giganews) it, and all the other MS groups, are still here...

At least yesterday evening their server was still online, only some groups have been removed. AFAIK not all groups will be closed in june 2010, some will be closed later. -- Thorsten Albers albers (a) uni-freiburg.de

Wrong, the servers are still online (see my headers) but the groups have been removed (from just their servers) as Nobody (still a stupid nickname :) said. -- Dee Earley (dee.earley(a)icode.co.uk) i-Catcher Development Team iCode Systems (Replies direct to my email address will be ignored.
