A1. I know, they've told me so (as has MI5).

A2. He must be on to your wiles.

A3. The MVP program? Why do you ask?

Do you have any idea how he is able to quickly find any post I make even
though i change my name and email address when posting ?

It just caught my attention that you are an MVP. How do you contact an
official that oversees that program?

Thanks!!

It makes sense to use an invalid or munged email address, yes, but if the
emasil@ address wasn't valid you didn't need to change anything.

A little detective work leads me to believe that the replies you refer to
are by one "StopThisAdvertising" (Arno R?; e.g.,
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.access.tablesdbdesign/msg/f4fc55ce3e6028e9)
who keeps posting a link to the very interesting page
http://home.tiscali.nl/arracom/whoissteve.html

Other than continuing to change the name & email address you use when
posting (which you've been doing, it would appear, in order to shake this
guy), there's nothing you can do about it except ignore him (or clean up
your act & stop soliciting business in the MS newsgroups...which happens
to be a violation of the Code of Conduct).

Yes, one and the same! At the beginning of this thread it was suggested
to
change my name and email address in my newsgroup account.

Are you accessing the microsoft.public.* newsgroups via the MS newssever
or the Earthlink newsserver (which is a mirror for Giganews)?

Earthlink

A standard reply to the newsgroup or a standard email reply? If the
former, what newsgroups?

If you access this and other MS newsgroups using the free MS
newsserver
(msnews.microsoft.com), do you still receive these replies?

Someone is automatically posting a standard reply to every post I
make
in
four newsgroups and I am trying to understand how he is doing it.


Go back to the beginning of this thread.

So now I can google and find a particular poster by his email

IP
or
something else, how could I automatically post a standard reply to
every
post he makes in a newsgroup?

You want to be a stalker? I am thinking that answering your
questions
was
a
foolish thing, now.
