Never reveal your real e-mail address on Usenet. This is the way spammers
get new victims. Also, post here, read here. It means don't expect to get
e-mail reponses to your posts. Another thing, never top-post. It is
considered bad practice by a lot of people and makes it difficult to follow
threads. Never post in html, use plain-text please. As you see there are a
few `rules' to follow. Always read a group for a while before posting your
first message. Always try to find the FAQ of the group before posting. I'm
not sure if it really matters with Microsoft groups, but almost all other
groups have FAQs. Considering the bad way Microsoft's newsreaders behave I
suppose it is ok to forget all rules when posting to Microsoft groups. But
don't be surprised if you get flamed in another group for not following the
rules/reading the faq, etc.
