I think you mean AN ACTUAL interface because I'm not reading or responding via
any website at all. I'm using Usenet via the news.eternal-september.org
Usenet server. I am using News Xpress, one of many hundreds of Usenet news
readers available.

I haven't had a browser loaded in half an hour or more. In fact I don't
think I've ever been to Microsoft's forum. I'm using a news reader. Lots of
people use news readers.
