There have been some spoof postings recently. It is difficult to tell which is the genuine person and which the impersonator. ~~~~ Gerry "PCyr" johndoe532004AThotmailDOTcom wrote in message ...

I just did a google search
for "Amethyst FW group:microsoft.public.*" 136 results for "Cassandra FW group:microsoft.public.*" 55 results (change the FW to the real word, since the real word doesn't get past MS's recent filter.) Those are just two of her many aliases (I assume she changes names to escape people's killfiles.) Yes, I know some are spoofs, but I know how to read headers, and at least 2/3 of those posts are not spoofs. -- Paul Cyr ----- The Debate Continues... www.xvsxp.com Protect Yourself and Others... http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/protect/ ----- "Gerry Cornell" wrote in message ...

of Windows/OE being used (if OE is being used). ---- Nathan McNulty Gerry Cornell wrote: Paul There have been some spoof postings recently.

A FW is a f**kwit. It's a term the MPT uses often.
If Zachary D. Wilson can not follow the rules by postdating and spamming, then he should be banned. If MPT can not follow the rules by swearing and insulting other users (deserving or innocent), then she should be banned. You don't actually thing that swearing at the guy is going to make him stop? Do you? There is no justification for it, and it is rude to the other users here that read MPT's profane posts. -- Paul Cyr ----- The Debate Continues... www.xvsxp.com Protect Yourself and Others... http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/protect/ ----- "Nathan McNulty" wrote in message ... First, what is a FW? Second, he has post dated 3 times and about topics that don't have anything to do with this NG. He has spammed this newsgroup about something he supposedly made (like anyone would buy it anyways). He just needs to be banned if he can't follow the guidelines. ---- Nathan McNulty PCyr wrote: Your language is inappropriate. 1) It's not 1990 anymore. There are no *rules* against posting in HTML, if you want your plain text, then that's *your* problem. If you don't like it, *ask* him not to post in HTML. 2) How many Hades times has he post dated? Twice. Annoying yes, but maybe if your posts didn't start by calling him an FW, he might actually continue reading your post and change his clock. abuse report sent to: |

I even have it as a message rule. Any post that comes in Post Dated that
user is ignored until they fix it, so I run it when I have about 5 or 10 post dated posts. -- Thanks Joe Chiacchio "Miss Perspicacia Tick" wrote in message ... PCyr wrote: Your language is inappropriate. I'm not going to be dictated to by someone who is (almost) young enough to be my son. 1) It's not 1990 anymore.

You weren't even BORN! HTML is considered bad form for several reasons 1) Waste of bandwidth (a 5-line message written in HTML can take up to TWENTY times the amount of bandwidth than if it was written in plain text. IOW, a message that would be 2K if written in plain text could take up as much as 40K if written in HTML. That means he's hogged the bandwidth that could have been used for TWENTY other messages. 2) It can harbour script viruses (OK, they're not so common these days, but they're still around). 3) Some servers delete HTML from where it doesn't belong (if he had wanted help, he'd have seriously curtailed his chances of receiving any). 2) How many Hades times has he post dated? Twice. Annoying yes, but maybe if your posts didn't start by calling him an FW, he might actually continue reading your post and change his clock. May I suggest you sign up for Remedial Maths 101? He has posted FOUR times and his clock has been off by a month each time. I wasn't the only one to tell him. Why post-dating is a bad idea: - 1) It's incredibly rude - it's the Usenet equivalent of queue jumping. 2) It's a tactic used by spammers (like our friend here) and many servers will delete the posts. 3) MS isn't averse to removing post-dated messages if they are signifcantly off. 4) Many won't respond to post-dated posts (other than to tell the poster their settings are wrong). 5) Because of all of the above, he most likely won't be assisted and some will even kill-flike (which is just what I'm going to do to you). abuse report (including full headers) sent to . --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
