I have, way too many times. I post through MS's servers most of the time,
so sometimes mine get pulled before it is distributed further. MS is just
wasting time and money though, because I just repost through Google, or my
ISP nntp server. Then it's gets pulled again, but then I post the link to
it at Google, and then there ain't much they can do about posting a link.
