Uses of The 4th Dimension (New Discovery by The Human Race)

[Marilee J. Layman]

Your use of an evasive reply in order to introduce a red herring is duly noted.

The issue is not whether Microsoft should be trusted,
as there is no reason to mistrust the managers of these news servers.

The *only* posts which are removed from Microsoft news servers are:

1. spam
2. posts which contain abusive language towards others
3. posts which contain gross language

In other words, posts which break the Microsoft Rules of Conduct for these newsgroups.

We don't have Microsoft Rules of Conduct for the newsgroup I'm
reading.

Please top post.

It allows readers to see the answer to the latest issue in the thread,
plus you don't have to scroll past all the text to get the gist of a thread.

You're definitely posting to the wrong group, then.

re:

What makes you think my newsserver replicates teh MS server?

It's either that, or you're answering on Microsoft's server.

Duh!

Then your message won't get deleted from Microsoft's servers.

Duh!

re:

What's there to trust ?

I distrust, far more, those who pirate content from these servers and then
want to set the rules for the type of content which should be published.

What pirating? Does MS voluntarily provide content to them?

What a deal ! Replicators get free content to replicate, place the free content
on the web and add advertising...and they've got a revenue generator.

Seems a lot like what MS does if it carries any of the other groups in
the header.

After that, you think you can criticize MS for trimming content on its servers
based on some sort of alleged moral superiority held by the replicators ?

MS is welcome to host whatever content it wants. Everybody else is
welcome to ignore MS's opinion about what _they_ should host.

The original spam never go into Panix in the first place, because
Panix uses filters written by an intelligent person.

re:

Post the way you like to. I'll do the same.

And when you top-post, we'll know you're clueless. When you continue
to do so after having been told to read news.announce.newusers, we'll
know you're intentionally clueless.
