The "something very odd" which is going on is that Microsoft's web interface
to the newsgroups is broken.

You'll see the messages if you use a newsreader or Google's archives.

But as all the people who are asking the questions about this problem are
the people who are using the Microsoft web interface, they are not seeing
the replies to their questions. :-(
