You're wrong again - there is a very real structure and everything that
enters it via willing participants, unless owned by someone else, is
public domain. MS agreed to this when they started pushing their content
out to Usenet. MS has no control beyond their OWN servers for anything
posted to any of the groups with the MS name.

Microsoft created the NNTP server for its OWN users and specifically
indicated and stated that in the 1996 news release document.

So again, your purported arguments are baseless, valueless, and have no
merit.

MS does not "Own" the groups, and they only control the content ON THEIR
OWN SERVERS.

Microsoft never *pushed* its property anywhere.

Baseless, worthless and merit-less arguments.
