registering at the MS newsgroup site???

Hey have you all noticed that when you go to the web site to read the MS
news groups that it has a new look. I wanted to post a question but you have
to sign in/register and all- Just like in most ng's now- Gee.........is this
something that you all found out too??? I prefer using outlookexpress to
read them but went on the site to see about a post I wanted to check. I
guess Ill stick with OE-At the site, it askes for your email and stuff-Can
one give a numged one there??

It seems to be a new spam control method. Your sign-in must
be a valid NET Passport, but you can still munge your
posting address (I assume).
