The purpose of my post was designed to prompt reaction, not from you, but
from others here. I apologise to you personally.
Perhaps you could, though, answer a 'real' query for me. I currently have
set up on this machine (in OE6) two specific newsgroups. One is
'news.microsoft.com' and the other is 'msnews.microsoft.com'. Each *appears*
to contain the same posts. Is there a simple expanation/reason for these two
identical facilities? TIA
Dave
