Why not? There really is no good reason not to get Microsoft newsgroups directly from Microsoft. Since the OP was asking about this newsgroup. I prefer to go straight to the source. None of the ones you mentioned are the source for these Microsoft newsgroups. I can count on the Microsoft news server to always have the Microsoft newsgroup I want when I want it. And that is not always true with any of the ones you mention. I see no reason or advantage to get something from a 3rd party when it can be gotten from the source with more reliability. Those just add another unnecessary layer and another thing to go wrong. Now perhaps for non Microsoft newsgroups... -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar http://www.dts-l.org "Talahassee" <talahassee@florida.usa> wrote in message news:2dtrf25k6d3qqlfbguk42fk08ace7sseua@4ax.com... > On Sat, 2 Sep 2006 14:35:59 -0600, "Jupiter Jones [MVP]" > <jones_jupiter@hotnomail.com> wrote: > I would definitely NOT go to Microsoft for access!! > > There are several good ones I know of. > > uncensorednews.com > > allthenewsgroups.com > > thundernews.com > > rhinonewsgroups.com > > giganews.com > > I've used uncensorednews, and I've used allthenewsgroups. > > Both are good, allthenewsgroups is cheaper, if you don't download a > lot of binaries.

It depends what you're looking for. For the microsoft.public.* groups, msnews.microsoft.com is definitely the best choice. It carries all of those groups, and is the definitive source for them. It's free for everybody to read from and post to. For other, general USENET groups, certainly not. msnews.microsoft.com carries only the microsoft.public.* hierarchy. For USENET groups, you'll need to access your ISPs USENET server, or one of the many available commercial server services. -- Tim Slattery MS MVP(DTS) Slattery_T@bls.gov |

You definitely need to read the OPS post. Nothing was said about buying anything. And getting Microsoft newsgroups directly from a Microsoft server costs nothing. But it may actually be faster than the middleman you suggest is not necessary. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar http://www.dts-l.org "Talahassee" <talahassee@florida.usa> wrote in message news:5vtrf2pi275cdrt63e3e0jihcch2us8k3o@4ax.com... > On Sat, 2 Sep 2006 13:30:01 -0700, philb > <philb@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: > giganews.com > thundernews.com > allthenewsgroups.com > uncensorednews.com > giganews.com > > > Do not, DO NOT support Bill Gates the convicted FELON (convicted > monopolist) by buying ANYTHING from Microsoft that you can do without. |

It's free, it always gets all the messages, and it gets them first. All the other servers just mirror the Microsoft one, and that can account for a delay as well as problems with missing messages. -- Ken Blake - Microsoft MVP Windows: Shell/User Please reply to the newsgroup |
