Also now in Eternal September.

Note that aioe has a retention time of only about 10 days. Eternal
September and Albasani are both recent adopters of
alt.windows7.general, so I can't tell what their retention is.

I haven't added news.individual.net, so I have no info on that one.

we added the group in early November last year. Our retention times for
groups in the alt.* hierarchy used to be 90 days, but we're currently
adding space and expect retention to end up somewhere between 6 and 12
months.

Thanks for offering a win 7 newsgroup refuge for those of us who suffer
with uncontrollable projectile vomiting at the mere thought of getting
stuck with MS web forums!
