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.

Hmmm, that should be *NOT* seeing it.

Not that I'm recommending it, but there are *tons* of other Web
interfaces to Usenet. Here's one that is carrying this newsgroup:

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. :(

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...
