It's not a Forum it's a Usenet group. And what exactly might your
complaint be? That your spam posts are being removed? John rcfrgf wrote: Where can I Post complaints/suggestions about the Forum? |

John rcfrgf wrote: Where can I Post complaints/suggestions about the Forum? LOL The best place to post a complaint is on a 'sticky note' just write down the complaint and stick it on your computer tower! |

This group is hosted and sponsored by Microsoft. It just happens to be echoed to Usenet, but it's not is not a Usenet group per se. And the primary user interface is their Forums web site at http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/default.mspx, is it not? I could consider that a "forum". |

Are you referring to your "data recovery" SPAM posts being deleted from the
server? http://groups.google.com/groups/sear...WRJA&scoring=d PS: You're posting in a newsgroup, not a forum.

Yes, it is. And the primary user interface is their Forums web site at http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/default.mspx, is it not? I could consider that a "forum".

microsoft.public.windowsxp.general: Wrong, this IS and has been a Usenet group. Just because MS pollutes most things with their twisted definitions does not make it what MS wants it to be. MS does do that elsewhere, but hosting a newsgroup on their own server, accessible via nntp, is NOT a "twisted definition". Lots of companies have done it for decades, though fewer now than used to. Web forums is the popular way now. If MS were to stop existing on Monday, this group would continue to replicate around the world - it IS Usenet. Let us test that theory... |

Microsoft Newsgroups: Frequently Asked Questions http://www.microsoft.com/communities...sgroupfaq.mspx Whichever way you want to cut it, or however you want to interpret things, these Microsoft groups that we are posting to are public Usenet groups, they always were, and they always will be. Once created, Usenet groups are like gossip and the (proverbial) feathers in the pillow. If you let the feathers out during a windstorm you will never be able to gather them back to stuff them back into the pillow! While some users like "Web forums", I and many others, think that the "Web forums" are just the most atrociously agonizing way of accessing these groups! I think that if you look at the headers you will soon realize that "Web forum" users are actually by a large margin in the minority, it isn't the "popular way now". John |

Web forums is the popular way now. You seem to be misunderstanding. MS is hosting a USENET Server with MS groups, they have a web-portal to it for people that don't understand the internet. If MS were to stop existing on Monday, this group would continue to replicate around the world - it IS Usenet. Let us test that theory... Sorry, but that's how Usenet works, they don't care about MS being alive or not. -- - Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum. - Calling an illegal alien an "undocumented worker" is like calling a drug dealer an "unlicensed pharmacist" (remove 999 for proper email address) |
