The advertiser is paying them, the user is not.

You have posted it *knowing* that it will automatically be shown by
Google. This is like someone broadcasting on a frequency where a
repeater will pick up and retransmit the signal (as my Father does) and
then complaining that it has been retransmitted (which he does not).

Most people replying to you have seemed to understand what you have said
perfectly. They are just pointing out how incorrect and stupid your
statements are.

If you don't want your posts to show up on web interfaces to Usenet then
don't post to Usenet, and that includes the microsoft.* groups because
they are normal groups just like any other.
