My guess is that having them on the private server somehow facilitates their
broader use by Microsoft staff--at the moment, and at various times in the
beta, there is been significant Microsoft participation.
It's also possible that there's some legal difference--these groups aren't
carried on Google, I think, nor replicated to other servers--although there
is one UK based HTML forum that slurps all the messages.
