I don't use E-S; I'm reading your post in alt.comp.os.windows-10 on
news.individual.net.

This doesn't quite invalidate your comment, it just corrects it.

I don't intend to look into any other servers to see if the NG is
present; maybe others who use them will pipe up.

Albasani.net has the group.

After ES added the Win10 newsgroup, yes, eventually it showed up at
Albasani but it took a LONG time for that to happen. Despite that I
normally use Albasani, I had to subscribed to the Win10 newsgroup using
my ES account because it wasn't at Albasani (how long it took to show up
I wouldn't know). For quite awhile, the only place to find the Win10
newsgroup was on the ES server. After Ray added it to ES, it sure took
a lot longer for the newsgroup to propagate to other NNTP servers than
could be accounted by normal new group requests.

Now that the Win10 newsgroup showed up on Albasani, I can choose to
visit that newsgroup using Albasani. Thanks for the update.

alt.comp.os.windows-10 is on Giganews.

Ah, it finally made it there. Know when Giganews finally decided to get
around to adding it?

I show Nov 3rd as when it first appeared on giganews

Hi, Vanguard.

My ISP (Grande Communications, Inc., here in San Marcos, TX) bundles its NSP
(news.grandecom.net) using Giganews. It has been carrying
alt.comp.os.windows-10 for several months, since November 2014, at least.

Of course, that doesn't do you or Brian any good, but others here might live
within reach of Grande.

FWIW I asked them to add it on November 2nd (in giganews.newsgroups).

I see it on AstraWeb (as someone else already mentioned) as well as the
Highwinds Group of NSPs: Easynews, Usenetserver, Newshosting, and possibly
others in the HWG family.
