Hi John,

Here are the posts I found from you in THIS thread, beginning at 12:29 PM
EDT and ending at 6:14 PM EDT, using my Supernews server account.

If you posted any others -- and they were deleted from Microsoft's servers
before they were propagated -- then they won't be here.

So then tell us, who do you think is removing the posts (on the MS
server)?

It may not be moderated (strictly speaking) but there are posts that don't
ever make it to the groups, they are filtered by contents or poster
name/origin before they make it to the group servers.

I don't think it's a grudge against him as such, it's more that some of the
subjects that he raises are obviously pretty touchy for someone at
Microsoft, they don't like certain things being talked about on their
servers.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Lets see if this will work:

Whether you agree with Alias or not one can safely say that his posts
never contain spam, porn, links to porn or vulgar language, yet many of
his posts have been removed or prevented from ever appearing on the MS
servers. On broaching the issue of the practice of shipping computers with
"restorations" cd's and recovery partitions instead of real Windows cds I
have had posts censored in these groups, so I know that some things are
sensitive to someone at Microsoft, there are just some subjects that
someone at Microsoft doesn't like seeing aired out in public! Other than
that Microsoft is quite tolerant of what is being said in these groups (on
their servers), even when it is inflammatory or highly critical of
Microsoft.

something in the post that someone doesn't like.

Well, somehow or other, when I tried to repost to Ron earlier, my post
must have made it somewhere at the exact moment when Google was
replicating to its servers and by some fluke my attempted repost made it
on to their servers, under another account with just my short "John" name.

The post seems innocuous enough to me, but apparentlty not to the powers
that be somewhere out there...

In that case, if it's "fixed" I should be able to past the exact text that
got the post banned yesterday and it should show on the server. I will
give it anoter try.
