This newsgroup will be removed from Microsoft servers on

In an effort to better serve you, we would like you to begin using the 
Internet Explorer General Newsgroup 
(http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/list/en-us/default.aspx?dg=micr

to discuss these issues.  The Internet Explorer General Newsgroup has more of 
your peers, Microsoft employees and MVPs available to assist you with your 
questions.   Please begin using the Internet Explorer General Newsgroup 
today. This Internet Explorer 5.0 General newsgroup will be removed from our 

I am glad you haven't removed the newsgroup from the servers yet. There is 
one problem with removing it.  This is a MSDN managed newsgroup and, as such, 
in this newsgroup MSDN subscribers are promised a response to technical 
issues from Microsoft if no other answer is received.

The IE 6 and IE 7 newsgroups are not listed in the MSDN managed newsgroups 
list and have no such promise.  If this newsgroup is removed, there is no IE 
6 or IE 7 group in the MSDN managed newsgroups and that will result in a 
broken promise from Microsoft.

Please reconsider or add the IE6/IE7 groups to the MSDN newsgroups before 
removing this group from the server.

Thanks,

Dale
