OT NNTP in VB

Hi
While looking up refs on NNTP in VB I was amused to read the following (code in C#,
not on a MS site). I'm fading too and I just hope NNTP lasts as long as I do.

"NNTP is an older fading protocol in the Internet protocol family. The protocol is used to retrieve
news from news server, a.k.a. NetNews servers. The protocol works by posting messages into various
forums, a.k.a. newsgroups. Then other end-users can read the recent posts in the forums. There also
exist protocols for distributing NetNews contents amongst various NetNews servers, allowing
thousands of servers to share news and forums. The most popular news server is of course Microsoft's
[nntp://news.microsoft.com]. "
