The operative words are ON THEIR SERVER. So let's look at that. I was
unable to find any reliable cite to come up with a number of total
news servers. Assuming every ISP offers some kind of access to Usenet
and there are dozens of pay to view premium news servers and they are
all over the world I guess there would be there at least thousands.
Lets just say 2000 which is probably low. So if Microsoft has ONE news
server that means they impact 1/20 of 1 percent. So what if anything
gets "censored" only has merit in some fanboy's wet dream which once
again confirms what lunkheads they truly are for believing in
fairytales.
