And off the top of my head, I'm not sure what is permissible. Copyright and fair use drive me crazy. Maybe just to keep it nice and clean, I'll stick to a summary of the various arguments that have been put forth here. You really don't need any permission to use these posts, unless you were reproducing them for sale. crosses eyes It's too soon for another copyright debate but there are two issues, one legal and one ethical. The legal issue splits into technical and practical. As a practical matter, no harm would come to me by printing and mailing the posts. Technically, I don't really care because I've seen it argued that the sky is green and the grass is blue, and with the legal system being what it is, sometimes it's just the luck of the draw when they're handing out judges. I have a friend who took a "never should have been filed" case to the SCOTUS twice over a period of almost 10 years (affording him the opportunity to send both of his children to a very good private school)--and he won, twice--but it was costly. Of course, the only reason his client was sued is that it had deep pockets...and I certainly don't. I'm more concerned with the ethical issue, and while I'll spare you a dissertation on my personal philosophy--which focuses on doing the right thing even when it's inconvenient--upon reflection, I don't really think it's the right thing to do. Furthermore, it adds nothing to my question for Microsoft. If they want to see how much misinformation is being passed along about the entire activation process, they can google for it, just like I did. And as one more purely practical matter, people who overstuff envelopes look like cranks. A one page certified letter gets a whole lot more attention than does a fat, battered envelope (they never emerge from the postal machines unscathed). There's more--I've been trained to consider even the most outlandish possibilities--but this is enough for here. I guess now that I've put this much time into talking about it, I'm actually going to have to take the time to write the damn letter. That's one more spanking for you, Kurt. grin rl First, there are no copyright issues involved. This is an open forum. Second, the opinions being expressed are supposedly those of those who have posted them. And this is being done knowingly. Third, although Microsoft might look at, and perhaps police, the forums it has created under its sponsorship, it has no official role because problems involving computers, software, hardware, etc., are many and diverse and too diverse except for the major blunders. Sit back and as somebody else wrote in this thread, enjoy the show and take away what would be most valuable for you. Okay. Open forum has nothing to do with it. The book on my floor is open, and I can't copy that. It's really not the issue anyway. Sure you can copy that book for a fair use. The issue is, I want the question answered, definitively, by Microsoft, the scrivner of the EULA. snip MS cannot give your the ultamite definitive answer, just as SCO is not the one that will give IBM the definitive answer over their UNIX license dispute. Only a judge can do can definitively answer this question, and until MS sues someone for changing their mobo, you have every right to interpret the EULA as you see fit. -- Peace!

Microsoft has a perfect right to decide what posts will stay on its server, but it has no control over the server I use, every other server that carries these groups and, even better from the angle of permanency, Google. I really do not think they censor them and delete posts. Oh yes they do! http://censored.microscum.com -- Peace!
