Hi,
it seems this part of Usenet is bridged to some webpage. I don't know
how threads are handled there, but in my NNTP reader I hide old posts.
So the childish...statements some people change the subject field to are
really obfuscating what thread this is. Stop it.
Unfortunately there's not a lot you (or we) can do. There are several web forums, EggheadCafe being one, Vista 64x being another, that leach off the MS News servers to make it appear that the forums are busier than they really are. The owners of these forums make no attempt to tell their members that this is what happens, so their members have no idea that their posts appear on Usenet.
I'm just surprised that the users of these forums don't twig when they see so many posts by "guests"....which are in fact the posts that are leached off the MS news servers...
