I think that I am confused on what "newsgroup" means with regard
to the termination notices.
Microsoft has been using an open technology, NNTP, over which it has
no control, to distribute its content beyond its own news server.
Read the Wikipedia articles on Usenet and NNTP to understand just
how foolish it is of MS to think they can close down the
microsoft.public newsgroups just by closing their own news server.
