Sign out of *what* website? If you are talking about the web interface
of the Microsoft newsgroups, then learn to use a newsreader. Here is
information about that:

Since you are using the web interface, you may not realize that this is
really a newsgroup. You will get far more out of this resource if you
learn to use a newsreader. There are many good newsreaders for Windows,
but you can use Outlook Express since you already have it. Here are
some links to information about newsgroups:

In Linux, some choices for newsreaders are KNode (KDE), Pan,
Thunderbird, Emacs, and there are others.
