Microsoft Gives MVP Award to Adware Pusher

In article , says... Leythos wrote: In article , says... Leythos wrote: In article , says... Why don't one of you try to describe the problem so at least I understand what your problem is? See, this whole "issue" started by a couple of people accusing me of using a broken newsreader, etc, etc. Now, fair is fair, if anyone starts a conversation with such rudeness I am really not going to take them very seriously, especially when it *is* their newsclient after all... What about the people that don't have the group to force the follow-up to from their ISP? Which is exactly why I set the "followup-to" a very common generalized newsgroup. In this case "microsoft.public.security". This newsgroup just about all newsservers carry. By doing what you are doing, the reply will never be seen from you and they will never be able to reply properly. Read above...This would only be true if I set the followup-to to a specialized, and hence non-popular, newsgroup... Except you don't know what groups are carried by what ISP, and you state you are trying to reach the masses with your message, but you don't seem to care that the non-technical will not be able to properly reply to your message due to the way you break the chain for your own personal pleasure. Legos, Again, read my post. I intentionally place a very common group in within the "followup-to" field. In fact the most common newsgroup. Did you not even read my previous post? Road Runner in my area does not carry that group, and RR has a LARGE base in Ohio, like the number 2 provider in Ohio. In fact, RR is three areas I just checked does not carry "microsoft.public.security". So, your method means that 10's of thousands of people that might see your message are unable to properly reply to you unless they know enough to fix your improper use of Follow-up methods. Funny, you are posting microsoft.public.security now? *Most* ISPs *DO* carry microsoft.public.security... In either case, I am not going to stop. What I am doing is FULLY within the specs of NNTP...you can keep on acting foolish if you wish but it is not going to change anything. I would suggest, that you read up on all the features that you are clearly unaware of...knowledge is power. Get powerful. Im |

Microsoft Gives MVP Award to Adware Pusher

I believe I do assist Not when you hijack. And you, not when you fragment threads It only is fragmented when you do not know what you are doing! So from your point of view, I guess it is.... That you can say that makes you appear to read only your threads English please. It is. I do not care to diagram for you. Oh please... As far as I have seen during the past year plus, you rarely attempt to do so, lest it is with a "get Linux" style comment. Talk of hijack! Like your endless rants of newsclients here in a thread about a new MVP who supported malware? That topic was dead out of the starting gate. That Microsoft gave a MVP to a spyware pusher? Not at all. If nothing else, it signifies that the MVP does not mean much. You have one right? However, just to reassure myself, I looked. (see below) I notice that right about 50% of your postings under this name in msnews hosted newsgroups in 2006 are replies in your own threads. I wonder why. Easy to deduce. How many time have you hijack the topic, like here, forcing me to try and steer the conversation back on topic for the sake of the many users here. What don't you investage that? Ah, I guess the truth hurts now, doesn't it. I like the truth. I just do not see you displaying it much, certainly not here/now. The truth is you *do* hijack the topic of this and other threads. You know as do I. You need to get these post counts up before you attempt to make claims over your great helpfulness in solving real problems as actually experienced by people. Maybe that is why you hijack posts like this one? Don't feel you can contrube but *also* want to increase you news post counts? Listen, I do not get evaluated for the number of news posts. I believe an MVP does. If I was getting evaluated for the number of news posts, I would use my real name, *like* *you*... You clear do not understand how it works. Funny, mine works flawlessly without any problems. I simply click and go. You are having problems but, *I* don't understand? Hahahahahahahahahahaha.... Thanks, for the chuckle! As I see you are quite difficult to wear down, I guess just ignoring you would be the best way to minimize your presence, ey? I don't really care what you do. I never have. You're just learning that now? You really are slow.... Roger, let's be honest here. Your whole rant here was not about anything more than the fact that Microsoft messed up and gave a spyware pusher a MVP. You being a MVP felt your had to somehow defend/protect Microsoft. I would respect you more if you were just honest from the beginning. However, you are not. As such, I view you, and your posts, as pretty much worthless. In either case, ignore me if you wish. Never did care much what you did... You are indeed quite dense, and able to claim anything as if it made sense. It is all too clear you have never cared what anyone (except yourself) has had to say (unless it agreed with you).
