The MS groups are also available on some of the free servers. There was never any need to get the groups from the MS servers. Steve -- Neural Planner Software Ltd www.NPSL1.com EasyNN-plus.

So MS is too cheap to keep them own their own server, but it's still available on pay servers and some free ones. I surmise the free ones have the advertising overhead ? Never been there or done that.
