Well, I've seen 60 of your messages by now.  And I have seen other messages
(in other groups) being posted for over 100 times over a period of one
week.

The speculation is that any article posted to the microsoft.public.*
hierarchy will fall under this fate.  As of this time (Sunday morning in
the US), the msnews.microsoft.com news server has taken ALL of its articles
off the server.

This coincided with the "Activate the Internet" (code-name "Fry the
Internet") campaign of a certain company.
