SP2 Behavior ...
If they do, then I for one will stop posting.
You aren't the only one. How so? I don't believe Usenet runs on FTP? Control?. I don't believe that MS is trying to kill FTP anyway, it's used far to much to kill, so I won't be worrying about it. - Bob Comer "Robert Moir" wrote in message ...

I bet M$ and the software community at large would love to figure out how to get rid of Usenet newsgroup support on the Internet in favor of website forums? If they do, then I for one will stop posting. So go find someone else to lecture. Getting rid of FTP might be a tiny first step in that direction. How so? I don't believe Usenet runs on FTP? |

I took no "position" I responded to a question with a question and pointed
to an article from MS. It was pointed out that my interpretation of the article was incorrect. A point to which I have conceded. It is hard to follow a thread if one does not quote the posts they are referring to If you wish to continue a personal attack based on outdated information please go bang your head against another brick wall.
