Who Should I Contact with any Questions?
Send any questions about the process, recommended forums and timing to
NNTP@microsoft.com

Maybe they can answer?

Russ:

I clicked the links in your "signature" and they don't see to work for
me with Chrome. I did not try any other browser and links from other
fols seems to work.
It is you or is it me?

All of them work with my Chrome install. There was an update to Chrome
today. Perhaps that will fix it.

I just updated Chrome to 5.0.375.70 and still no go.

I also right click the link, copy address and pasted it into a new
browser window to no avail:

Same things with Firefox and I am NOT trying IE!

Oh well.

I think I will blame the Windows updates for this phenomenon.

I did the Windows Updates last night so I doubt it's that. Perhaps you
should run your virus scanner and malware scanners. The URLs work in
Seamonkey, IE, Firefox and Chrome for me. They are not malware sites.

In any large organization...

During the Cuban Missle Embargo, a U.S. fighter jet violated Russian air
space off Alaska. President Kennedy was heard to mutter: 'There's always
somebody who doesn't get the memo."

The Microsoft NNTP Server will always be there!

if you close all News Groups then Microsoft NNTP Server will not send out a
News Groups List
No List, no Microsoft Groups, all close!
But Microsoft NNTP Server will be up and running with no Groups!

And Who lool Microsoft at UseNet!

John John do MVP smoked too much

For you are 3% right here!

()ne I do not smoked do you?

Do you know how a NNTP Server works?

If you have one you would know to Close a Port. Will open a door of Lies in
the World of UserNet .

I say that Microsoft will not close NNTP Server..
That is to say that Port 119 is Microsoft Port ... Not the UserNet port
like the one @ News:hot-text.ath.cx:119

So you here to Help with good Info or not?
