The worst lesson of life is that all good things must come to an end.

Goodbye everybody!

Shall we send flowers or...?

PS: Hopefully you'll learn to pay closer attention in your next life (unless
you're a bug).

PPS: Take the ghosts with you, too

I don't have a schedule, but this group is not on the 6/1 chopping block.

Your choice. The rest of us will continue posting here in this same
newsgroup long after Microsoft has dropped their NNTP server and killed
off their webnews gateway to Usenet.

I read your post on news.eternal-september.org and I wonder what is the
MS schedule for trying to remove m.p. groups? M.p.excel.charting, .
...misc and m.p.outlookexpress.general on msnews.microsoft.com all have
posts dated 6/1/10

"You don't need or use this anymore. And just to be sure, we're going
to make it as difficult as possible for you to use this anymore. Then,
when people stop using it because we've made it next-to-impossible and
too obscure for the average person to keep using it, we'll have proven
how right we were that nobody needs or uses it anymore."

NNTP is robust and does so much that web-based forums simply can't do,
including sorting at the click of a button, and having easy-to-follow
multi-threaded "conversations" (Google has killed the word "thread", sorry.)

*sigh*

It's all that messy disruptive "free speech" that really works against
the perfectly-fine very-usable NNTP.

Do go thank the AG of N.Y. for that very first tipped domino -- 9 bits
of porn over thousands of newsgroups causing all the major ISPs to drop
their news servers, followed on by corporations concluding that since
Usenet is "dead" (or, more aptly, slain) newsgroups have become
irrelevant now that they are so difficult for the average person to access.
