MSN Groups to remove calendar feature for non-members

I just got a mail from MSN Groups informing me that the calendar feature will be removed for non-subscribers. Much like the limitation of the inbox storage when MSN Hotmail became a member service, non subscribers will still be able to view a calendar but not edit it. The mail is below:
This message is to inform you that the calendar feature of MSN Groups will no longer be available as a free service beginning August 7, 2003.

To provide better service and usability, MSN Groups will begin using a subscription-based MSN Calendar in place of the current one. We think your members will find the new Calendar much easier to understand and navigate. Non-subscribers will still be able to view the calendar and appointments, but only MSN subscribers will have the opportunity to add and change Calendar events.

To take advantage of all the great features of MSN 8 and to have complete access to the updated MSN Groups Calendar, you must sign up for MSN 8 at http://join.msn.com?pgmarket=en-us.

Sincerely,
The MSN Groups Team

So something that doesnt come into effect for 3 weeks is old? I think he saw my original post when Microsoft announced it in April, this however is as it reads. An announcement released today. so if anyone is being a retard here its Nodiaque's original post that is against our ruleset.

Seeing as you are confused at this I decided to explain in detail.

FYI because you brought this further to my attention the poster has now been warned so you can see your post wasn't in vain.

Thanks.

You have a point, but there's no need in calling him a retard, that's kinda harsh...

Just stating my opinion.
I'm suprised he's not calling you a retard.

Its their site.. and I agree with him. If somebody acts a fool then he should get whats comming for him.

Well, raptorized.com is my website and I don't call my users retards...

If I do, it's only jokingly... I mean, we're still human beings right? I'm not saying I disagree with his point, I'm just not too fond of the way he expressed it, that's all.

well maybe thats the difference between you and me, I recognise sarcasm when I see it.
