There is some interesting feedback here to my post. FYI, I personally have
been posting our security bulletins and alerts in these newsgroups for over
two years now. In fact, I created these security newsgroups (.security and
.security.virus) mainly for this purpose. My post is completely consistent
with the way I have always posted them. This is the first time anyone had
issues with cross posting. I understand the basis of those concerns though
and will take them in to consideration. So, in light of recent swen issues
in these newsgroups, is it the general feeling of all here that cross
posting should not be used to communicate these bulletin releases?

Microsoft has always maintained that www.microsoft.com/technet/security is
authoritative in regards to security issues with our products. This means
that even if you are subscribed to our security bulletin notification
service, you should verify the validity of that information by going to that
site.
