Windows 7 Questions

compiled the following: "Gordon" wrote in message ... "Speaking in silver" wrote in message ... No, but you can always use Google groups :-( And get blocked by many newsreader-using regulars..... I still have a Google Groups account I had not used in years. Logged in and checked and it shows no such group still. I guess they are not yet archiving or supporting this group. It would appear that this group has been incorrectly set up as there is no proper control message, therefore, most NNTP servers are seeing it. -- Geordie Usenet, how to post info: http://www.dickgaughan.co.uk/usenet/...aq08-topp.html http://www.i-hate-computers.demon.co.uk/quote.html |

Not that I'm recommending it, but there are *tons* of other Web interfaces to Usenet. Here's one that is carrying this newsgroup: http://www.w7forums.com/alt-windows7-general-f28.html |

Windows 7 Questions
Hi, Daave.
Yes, but that's another FORUM! Microsoft offers FORUMS! We don't need no steekin' FORUMS! What we are looking for is Windows 7 NEWSGROUPS! And, besides, like all the other FORUMS, it just leeches (or "slurps") posts from here. :( RC -- R. C.

Well MS ain't gonna give us newsgroups for Win 7 it seems, mainly because of the CRAP posted by idiots on both sides in the Vista general newsgroup... |

The rest of that site is indeed a Web forum, but the link I posted is to
this very newsgroup. Look again. In fact, here is this very thread: http://www.w7forums.com/windows-7-questions-t1867.html At the time I am replying, our posts appear on page 4 of the thread. So, it shouldn't be long until Google Groups also has this alt.windows7.general newgroup. What ticks me off is Microsoft not starting any Windows 7-specific groups. Oh, well... R. C.
