In article ,
lid says...
With a good kill-file, newsgroups could still work. Not sure why M$ is
killing their server but other servers will carry the M$ newsgroups if
anybody has any new questions.


It's about CONTROL and MS had no control of Usenet without a LOT of work
on their part and then only their servers.

You apparently get your jollies off calling others HoopleHead. It's a
reflection of your personality.
How many friends do you have? One? two?

Message-ID:

That is Microsoft's NNTP server value. You are still posting through
Microsoft's server.

Path:...!TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl

The first node (rightmost one as each peering node gets prepended in
this list) shows the host from which the post originated; i.e., to where
you posted. Again, that's Microsoft's NNTP server.

You are NOT posting here using the NNTP server from Eternal-September.
Did you even define a news account in OE for their NNTP server?

Usenet has been around for 30 years. Microsoft tried to usurp Usenet
back in 2006 and now they are leaving.
