Microsoft Responds to the Evolution of Online Communities

As you say, they can't control the presence of these groups on the whole nntp/usenet network. Quite. Well, if that really is what they mean, why didn't they just say so ? Minor damage only if that's the case ... and in some ways, a good thing for those of us here. If that's what they mean, then who wrote the subject line? Ah. That is obviously from marketing. Yeah, we are going to s$#*w you, but it is for the greater good, and it is in your best interests (because we know best). |
