Love,
The old MS Newsgroups Admin who really can't laughing at this boondoggle.
Here's your "help".
...and your final notice too. :oD
I can get, more or less, what they're doing. I think it's wrong. There's
a big world of difference between shutting down and 'just not caring that
they exist anymore'.
Hell, the second doesn't require any work. At the same time, I'm not
against it. I don't have a horse in this race anymore. I could care less
(which is almost a lie).
What I'm against is the horrible messaging and unrealistic timelines.
Some of the stuff I've heard from the MVP side of the fence is just...
absurd.
Like this:
"When will this Happen?
Effective June 1, 2010 this newsgroup will be closed."
Thus making this post impossible...
