There have been some spoof postings recently. It is difficult to tell which
is the genuine person and which the impersonator.

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.

Check the post header It gives the IP address as well as the version
of Windows/OE being used (if OE is being used).

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.

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.

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.

What would you know about 1990? 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).

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.
