Aug 1st, will it be "E.L.E."?

We are getting closer to August 1st, the alleged date when MSFT will no
longer support this group.
Will August 1st be "E.L.E." (Extinction Level Event) like the movie?

I am still posting both via Web and one of the servers already suggested here.
I expect to see everybody around here in the afterlife next Monday.

I am reading/posting with NIN.

We should be OK as long as MSFT don't issue a 'rmgroup' instruction, even
then most servers will ignore it :-)

Hi, Carlos.

I don't know what will happen this Sunday (August 1). But I've been
subscribe to this NG in TWO News Accounts since July 1. I'm still
subscribed here on the msnews.microsoft.com server, where there are now 980
messages, 0 unread. This goes back 90 days; the earliest post is 5/1/2010.

AND I've subscribed to this same NG on my ISP's news server, which I think
is Giganews. That NG now shows 69,997 messages (back to 5/8/2005), because
I chose to download "All Messages" one time and patiently waited for hours
as they were all downloaded via cable. Then I used Catch Up to mark them
all read. I've read some of the messages received there since then, but not
all, since I'm also reading them here; I currently show 234 unread in that
NG.

I'll probably continue to use both News Accounts until this one does
actually disappear, whenever that might be. I'll see you here (and here
<g> ) next Monday - and until this situation gets resolved, one way or
another.

question about his "fascination with the tango. Do you still dance?" His
reply: "Yes, sir. I practice the walk every day. You can learn a figure
in five minutes, but it takes you 10 years to walk like an Argentine.")

R.C.,
I saw Robert Duvall once in downtown Buenos Aires when walking in a popular
touristic place ("La Recoleta").
I know that, among other things, he has something to do with horses and that
his wife was born in Argentina.
Not quite related with this, but the late actor of "El Zorro" in the TV
series, Guy Williams spent the last days of his life living in Buenos Aires.
I was born there but since 1982 I'm living in Rio Grande, 2,000 miles south.

I have this group locked in on 3 different servers.. I have learned a untold
amount through this group most often from the sidelines but I would miss it
if it were gone.. I will continue to be here to the bitter end!!

I haven't heard anything more than anyone else, Carlos. But I expect
sometime next week for someone at MS to make us 'read only' on the msnews
servers. At which point, I'll switch over to my secondary server. I'll be
here, regardless. (Though I'm buried right now with work, so a bit sporadic
in checking in.)

We'll be here, even if Microsoft isn't.

I figure the web interface will be the first to go, so you get to be our
"canary", Carlos.

(Coal miners used to take canaries down in cages with them in the mine
shafts. If methane were present, the canaries would pass out well before the
men would, warning them to get out before an explosion or before the lack of
oxygen asphixiated them. The term, thus, is used to designate a sacrificial
early warning system.)

Charlie,
Almost noon down here and the "canary" is still singing.
