Hi - my advice is that you not use Google Groups to access the newsgroups.
Google Groups is wonderful for searching old posts, but is not the best way
to use the groups 'live'. Nor is the MS web interface. Instll a news client,
such as Forte Agent, Thunderbird, or even Outlook Express instead. It's a
lot easier to do nearly everything that way. You can mark messages to be
watched, filter the views so you can see replies to your posts easily, and
search.
The Microsoft public news server is msnews.microsoft.com and you can
subscribe to as many groups as you like; no authentication is required.
