Again, you're missing the point - they have a Usenet service, it's the
root of their "Groups" that you are using - it IS the infrastructure,
the foundation, the technology that they use to build from.

Yes, they make select parts available to other feeds, and they have a
private Usenet server also - you have to authenticate with it to access
it, but that is part of Usenet methods and it is Usenet.

Don't mistake Usenet for the part that is public, and not every Usenet
provider carries the same groups, some only carry a fraction, some limit
you monthly byte count, etc....

Again, MS is using a News Server that is based on what we all use as
Usenet, and they provide the masses that don't know about Usenet with a
web interface to it also.

Do your homework yourself. Usenet is what is available, based on the
defined structure, and it could encompass public and private servers
where private servers allow public connections.

Here is a link to what you should understand about Usenet:

Usenet is a peer to peer network of "servers"(look it up). Microsoft
does *not* peer with *any* other newsservers, therefore
msnews.microsoft.com is *not* a part of Usenet, period. It appears you
cannot understand simple logic...

Yes, MS does peer with other servers. I post to a non-MS Usenet server,
my posts show up on the MS servers as they peer with outside sources.

You can apologize now.

I too, can post to MS newsgroups from my ISP's newsserver if I choose
to... That only means your newsserver admin has added the
microsoft.public.* hierarchy to their newsserver, *Not that they PEER
with msnews.microsoft.com. Sheesh!
"For a number of years, Microsoft has created the Microsoft.public
newsgroup hierarchy and made it *available to anyone ON the Usenet*(my
emphasis)".
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...ln%5Dnewswhelp

Can you not comprehend this?:
[FAQ] How to add the microsoft.* hierarchy to a news server:
Last-modified: 2007/08/02
Microsoft created Microsoft public discussions covering many Microsoft
products, technologies, and topics because of the value of finding out
what your peers think and getting information from people who use the
same products and technologies you use.
The Microsoft public discussions have been available to anyone on
Usenet for a number of years.

I repeat, *Usenet is a peer to peer network of "servers"(look it up).
Microsoft
does *NOT* peer with *any* other newsservers*, therefore Microsoft *is
not* a part of Usenet. They simply make their *.public.* groups
"available to anyone ON the Usenet". Sink in yet? Come back when you
can comprehend simple logic

NNTP
"Network News Transport Protocol, " the name of a protocol that controls the
request and exchange of Usenet messages.

News
The generic name for the Usenet.

Post
An individual Usenet message. Also, the act of sending an individual Usenet
message to a server that will display it in the newsgroup.

Usenet
The collection of all posts publicly distributed through NNTP.

It's starting to look like this *is* usenet even for you -

I never said "this is not Usenet"(whatever that means to you

I
merely stated msnews.microsoft.com
is *not* a *part of Usenet* due to the fact they do not PEER with any
other newsservers. Why do you think other News Admins need a special
FAQ in order to add the microsoft.public.* hierarchy to their

http://www.trigofacile.com/divers/usenet/c...crosoft-faq.txt
If you log on to msnews.microsoft.com(a *private* server) you do not
need to go through Usenet(via *your* NSP *if they happen to carry the
microsoft.public.* hierarchy) to post or read on their groups... There
are *many* private newsservers on the net(Using the NNTP protocol and
*not* on the Usenet) who chose *not* to make their groups *available to
anyone *ON* the Usenet*(you *have* to logon to their server to
read/post). Microsoft *chose* to make their groups *available to
anyone *ON* the Usenet*( if the NSP's admin adds the microsoft.public.*
hierarchy). See link above...

You clearly don't understand the simple fact that in order for
msnews.microsoft.com to be *a part of Usenet*, they *have* to *PEER*
with other newsservers. Microsoft does *NOT* peer with *any* other
newsservers*, therefore msnews.microsoft.com *is not* a part of Usenet.

"Newsgroup. A particular group within the Usenet. In October 2000, there
were more than 100,000 newsgroups. Each newsgroup is named according to a
hierarchical convention. Categories such as "rec," "comp," or "misc"
identify the general subject of the newsgroup. Additional terms are
sometimes added, uniquely defining the newsgroup within a collection of
others. Examples: comp.lang.perl.misc, rec.pets.cats,
Microsoft.public.access."

Jen, you just don't seem to understand, MS is peering or they would not
show my posts to my Usenet provider on THEIR servers, and I would not
see their posts on my providers servers either.

Face it, you're completely wrong here - you might want to chat with one
of the old Usenet admins, the ones before they farmed support for it
out, and they would explain it to you.

Thank you, I have my *own* old newsserver admin. There is, and never
has been, an "Usenet admin"

The usenet servers all over the world have admins that run them, they
are their own kingdoms and they control them. In the old days we use to
cancel ot post and stuff that we didn't like in chartered groups, today
it's mostly let run loose.

MS had Usenet server admins, several of them, and they run a Usenet
server that peers with others, that's how your provider gets the info.

You are right, technically, there is not SINGLE Usenet admin, but each
server or farm has admins that control their own servers, so, at their
location there is a Usenet Admin.

Leythos said 'this is usenet' in response to your post found
on the server (he?) uses. You said "no it isn't", in response
to a post from (him?) on the server you use.

By the glossary entries on the very URL you yourself provided
to substantiate your claim, I posted excerpts from your message
header to show that it was indeed a usenet post - using MS's
own glossary entries.

Actually, I don't give a crap one way or the other. Discussions
like this bring about some interesting reading when URL's are
actually investigated though.

Sure, that's what you say *now*, but your posted usenet article

indicates otherwise.

Anyway, no more responses from me in this thread no matter how
much your next usenet post tries to egg me on.

I agree and should not have let myself be trolled like that.
