Sorry Kelly, but microsoft.public.windowsxp.general is where this
really needs to go. Posting FAQs and sources of information that
are relevant to the news group is not spam. You MPVs seem to
think that you own the *public*
microsoft.public.windowsxp.general news group and can make
decisions on what is spam and what is not. You have the right to
control what is on the news server (TK2MSFTNGP09.phx.gbl) that MS
runs for their "Microsoft Community" web page access to usenet,
and nothing else. If MS wants to own a discussion forum and
control the postings , then they can make private chat rooms like
AOL. MS allowing you to send control cancel messages out to the
public usenet system from the MS news server is a MS libility
issue I'm going to take up with MS. MS censuring of public forums
is probably something MS really does not want to get involved
with. After looking at previous posting acrchived in Google, your
main argument seems to be that "Timo never helps, only post".
This is not a valid definitation for usenet spam. I've been
posting to usenet since 1994 and posting FAQs and relivant
information to a news group once a month (maybe once every two
weeks for high volune groups) has always been appropriate and
welcomed. I think you have let your friend David (who use to be
an MPV? Yikes!) lead you down the wrong path on this issue. I
think you really should reconsider your current position and not
interfer with Timo's postings to the public usenet system. You
don't have to read them. I'm going to watch Timo's future
postings to the microsoft.public.windowsxp.general news group and
do my best to detect any inteference with his postings. MS has
deep $$$ pockets and I think you may be just the ticket to get
there. You give a lot of support in the news groups, don't let
your personal agenda ruin it for you. Heads up.
