These Excel groups, indeed all the "microsoft.public" groups are available
via the Communities web interface, "WebNews"
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/list/en-us/default.aspx
- and via NTTP newsreaders, eg Outlook Express, Windows Mail, Firefox. Most
of the numerous web mirrors, eg Google-groups, can be considered as NTTP.
(In passing, some of the mirrors tend to give a misleading impression they
host these groups themselves.)
Currently, possibly since 13-Oct, most if not all NTTP posts are not being
made visible to WebNews. So anyone posting on WebNews probably will not see
replies from NTTP posters.
NTTP posters seem to be able to see WebNews posts.
A clue as to how the post was sent is to look at the headers, if you see the
following it's probably WebNews and the poster may not see your reply.
