Missing Newsgroups

You show your ignorance, presuming to describe with such authority,
somebody whom you do not know in the least.

When I give advice in this forum, for whatever time is now left to it, I do
so knowing my limitations, and make no secret of the fact that I am no
expert, just an enthusiast.

I believe I have been of some help here, even in threads where Microsoft
MVPs have been involved, but even they don't "hit the right spot" on
occasion - they are not "gods" (as I'm sure they will admit) !!

Plus, I have been giving advice (only on matters that are within my
experience, I hasten to add), here for around the past two years, and this
is the FIRST time I've seen a poster that goes by the name of "Tester" !!

God bless you (you need it), Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. :-(

Because of M$'s decision to close the Groups, I added the following to
my OE :

(nntp.aioe.org)
alt.msdos.batch
alt.windows-xp


This is a very stupid thing to do because nutters like you don't get the
cryptic message from Redmond (WA 98052-6399) that they don't want idiots
like you or Pig-Bear posting any solutions to Microsoft's own
applications. They have their own staff to do this. No wonder they hang
around on Forums to give real life working solutions to by pass nutters
like you.

Peckham boy - learn a thing or two and don't remain a stupid fat boy.

P.S. I correct myself;

Having conducted a search (in OE) for the sender's name: "Tester". - It
came back with five responses by yourself since February of this year.

And, IMHO your own advice leaves a lot to be desired....

Oh, you thought because they get labelled "Microsoft" on their forums
that any Microsoft techs actually visit there. Bwaaahaaahaaa, what a
rube you are. Yeah, like Microsoft "staff" visits here (in Usenet) or
in their forums, uh huh.

It is wiser to remain silent and have others ponder your ignorance
rather than open your mouth and remove all doubt. You certainly proved
you ignorance here.

I bet you think the "MVP" badge that egotistically adorned to the
monikers of some posters makes them Microsoft employees, too. NONE of
them work for Microsoft.

You are at a complete loss as to just what is Usenet. You are at a
complete loss at who participates in the forums.

Another rube. These messages were NEVER censored by Microsoft other
than on their own NNTP server which had little effect on posts submitted
in the rest of Usenet in the same newsgroups. They are unmoderated
newsgroups. Spend more time in Usenet and start reading up on how it
works as an anarchy of *users*. The microsoft.public.* newsgroups were
not carried on a publicly accessible but non-peered Microsoft NNTP
server so Microsoft, if they choose, could regulate the content of any
posts. If the posts were not peered to other NNTP servers then, yes,
Microsoft chose to peer their NNTP server hence their newsgroups with
all the other nodes in the worldwide mesh network of Usenet. There are
publicly accessible but private NNTP servers (e.g., news.grc.com) where
moderation would work. All Microsoft could do was employ some filtering
that got performed automatically (since they didn't allocate a workforce
of moderators) to eliminate the submission of some posts on THEIR
server. They could do nothing about posts that originated on other
nodes that peer amongst each other (along with Microsoft's node).

These newsgroups were not moderated. They still aren't. They're in
Usenet, not carried by a single non-peered Microsoft-managed node.
Microsoft did not setup their NNTP server to e-mail a group of
moderators to decide whether or not a submission would be accepted or
rejected. They employed some filters to do some filtering which was
automatic but often would reject messages that had no "bad" content (tis
the problem of using static filters). In some cases, the mere inclusion
of the "alt." string, as in mentioning alt.comp.hardware, would result
in Microsoft's static filters rejecting the post - but obviously only if
the post was submitted through THEIR server. Since they peered with the
rest of Usenet, and since they employed no real persons to effect
moderation, submissions that originated at other nodes in Usenet were
not subject to the filters at Microsoft and those nodes would peer
amongst each other. It was possible that a post would not appear on
Microsoft's NNTP overview and article databases but appear in the rest
of Usenet. This does not qualify the *newsgroup* as a moderated group
and this uncoordinated filtering was ineffective.

Interesting that someone defending Microsoft under the false assumption
that Microsoft could censor the content in the microsoft.public.*
newsgroups also posts with "micro****" in their bogus e-mail address.

It's not "now these messages cannot be censored". It's "they have never
been censored and still aren't despite Microsoft's past presence or with
their future absence".
