What's up with this NG?

[Earl Lewis]

I'm seeing messages drop off the NG. Are any NG admins aware of a problem today?

Earl:

Messages on the source board msnews.microsoft.com expire after 30 days.
After that you need to hit a news server that has longer TTLs or use Google.
If you're seeing this happen to recent messages, it may because some of the
servers in the farm are out of synch. If you're using OE, this will cause
Outlook to mark and hide the threads. You need to resynch OE with the
newsgroup to overcome the latter problem.

Gary,

These were brand new messages yesterday. Looks like they may be showing up again now.

Definitely out-of-synch issue on the NNTP farm.
