What a good newsgroup for C++ (specifically MFC Programming)
where I can use the newsgroup on Windows Live Mail. They've
removed "public.mfc" was removed.

Use http://eternal-september.org/ as your news provider.
http://eternal-september.org/ still has all the microsoft groups
that news.microsoft.com deleted.

Yeah, but when Microsoft has discontinued Usenet support, doesn't
that mean that articles posted via Microsoft's web interface are
not propagated to Usenet?

Yes.

And vice versa, that articles posted to the Usenet groups are not
propagated up to Microsoft's web thingy?

Yes.

I think the politicians who want to stop Usenet and most all other
kinds of free uncensored speech (in particular a New York
politician), especially those who have been instrumental in
partially succeeding in that, should be whipped and tarred and
feathered and put on public display where we can spit on them.

I believe some people in charge have a problem with all the good info
appearing on all the wrong search engines. That's why they tell us
that we all want a proprietary format for registered and logged-in
users only.

Apparently there has been a strong demand for this from the Community.
