Half right.
'It's on news.panix.com' - Correct.
'No it's not' - not correct, since, in fact, the news group is, indeed, on
msnews.microsoft.com.

Nahhhhhh.

There's no such thing as a primary location on Usenet. It's
*entirely* *distributed*.

Well, you can't use news.panix.com unless you get an account
at panix. I guess you could use that microsoft thing but I'm tellin ya
it's nothing but a *cheap* *imitation*.

Or you could get an account at painx! They're a really great ISP
and they support trn!

The latter. No registration or logon required.

This is primarily a newsgroup hosted by microsoft at the news server
msnews.microsoft.com. Like almost all other newsgroups, it is also
mirrored to hundred or thousands of other news servers all over the
world (including, but certainly not limited to, news.panix.com).

You can use any news server you want that carries the newsgroup, but I
recommend msnews.microsoft.com, since that's what most of us here use,
and will therefore give you the quickest access to posted messages.

From a practical standpoint, you have two main choices: use the server
Microsoft provides, msnews.microsoft.com, or use the news server your
ISP provides (if they do; ask them). Other news servers are available,
but some of them will charge you, and some others carry fewer
newsgroups or have restrictions on what you can do. There's certainly
no reason to choose any other than Microsoft's or your ISP's, unless
you also want access to newsgroups that you can't get on one of those.

Thank you. I am now using the msnews.microsoft.com. It's the same as
the ones on Microsoft Communities which is provided by Windows, and as
stated before, I don't like it. I felt confined, and worst of all, I
don't get notified if I have replies on my threads. Who wants to scroll
to my threads ,which will be all over, and find out if I have replies or
not ??

Notifying you of activity in threads in which you are participating is
not a function of the news server, it's a function of the newsgroup
client you are using.

Some newsgroup clients can do this, but others may not. I'm using
Forte Agent here. I have it set to mark threads in which I'm
participating as "watched" and I have messages sorted to display
watched threads first.
