Query the Windows XP Customize newsgroup
Over the past year or two, this news group was quite popular as a forum for
questions about customizing the Windows XP interface. Since Microsoft closed down all of it's newsgroups in August / September, I thought that was it for " microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize " but it seems that someone ( nntp.aioe.org ) liked it so much, that they took it over and host it on their servers now! Wonder if it will prove to be half as popular as it used to be? == Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. :-) |

Nobody "takes over" a newsgroup in that way really, except for private closed newsgroups - even Microsoft didn't control it before they closed their server. Servers exchange posts with each other on their common newsgroups: posts will appear first (usually) on the server used by the user making the post (I'm posting this , for example, via Plusnet, who I think use the Giganews server), but usually propagate to the other servers that take the 'group within a short time. Wonder if it will prove to be half as popular as it used to be? [] Well, I haven't moved it to my "dead groups?" folder, so it must have had posts in it more frequently than my expire time for some time. -- J. P. Gilliver.
