Re: Windowds XP

I wonder how long I should wait for that other post to show up... There is something in the post that someone doesn't like.

Let me try one more time. I will try to paste my reply to Ron in another post, in a reply to your post. As soon as I post this I will post a second post with a copy of my earlier reply.

perhaps "Alias" is a forbidden word?

There are missing posts, I made a post/reply to Ron (before my 14:22 post) and it hasn't shown up. I tried to repost the same message and another (new) one with slightly altered contents and the posts aren't showing.

Dunno, I see posts from you in this thread at 11:29, 12:03, 12:11, 14:22 and this one at 14:48..

No, Bob. My second post (this one that you replied to) has appeared yet the other one that I posted before this one hasn't. I tried to post the same post again with my answer to Ron but the post hasn't been posted.

How so? Perhaps you are just checking too soon?

It appears that now my posts to this thread are prevented from making it to the MS server, so even mentioning the "A" name seems like reason enough to block posts! I guess the conversation is now over because I can no longer express my opinion about the subject!

I have been posting in these newsgroups since 1996 and I have never seen nor heard of a post intentionally taken off a MS server merely because there were discussions of or rants about MS. Posts are removed upon the request of the poster if there is a valid reason, if they contain blatant spam, contain excessive profanity, have any reference to porn, could contain dangerous info, etc. MS takes freedom of speech very seriously and does not arbitrarily remove posts just because they are critical of MS. With that said, I don't recall seeing posts made by Alias so I don't know what might be objectionable in his posts if they are indeed being removed. I would also be willing to bet that a person could lose his/her job at MS if he/she removed a post because of a grudge.
