The recommended migration for all FrontPage Forums path is to
http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/addworks/threads
(just filter the Application for FrontPage - to not see the Works/PhotoDraw posts)

Good point. I had forgotten all about the decentralization of USENET.
microsoft.public.frontpage.client may linger on for quite a while,
especially since there doesn't seem to be an obvious forum for the
traffic to migrate to.

Can you filter using NNTP Bridge?

You may be able to set up rules in your newsreader to ignore everything EXCEPT posts containing "FrontPage" in message or subject, and to hide the ignored messages. This may not be 100% perfect, though. The bridge itself will deliver everything it finds to the newsreader, and is not configurable.

Unfortunately, there appears to be one very self-important yahoo out
there that's being recognized as an "authoritative" source for rmgroup
requests across a broad swath of usenet. For instance, two very
popular *free* servers (www.aioe.org / www.eternal-september.org) seem
to be accepting his requests. None of the rogue groups exist in either
place.

See this thread:
Microsoft is planning on phasing out newsgroups -
news.admin.hierarchies
http://groups.google.com/group/news.admin.hierarchies/browse_thread/thread/67439c68236e7e35

Doesn't paint a very purty picture... :-(

All(!) VBA questions, regardless of what object model they're operating
under, go into a single group? <LOL> Morons...

Where is this list of suggestions, anyway? I haven't seen it.

Thanks...
