So Im, your posting is, at times, contraversial or at least contra-MS.
Have you ever noticed your postings being deleted, and if so, did it
perhaps include abusive language (either originated or thread copied)?
Is it illegal to criticize? I hope the US has not gone that far (yet)...No I
have never noticed my posting being deleted but, I do not put it pass
Microsoft to do so...I don't use abusive language. However, I leave the
down open to "rag" someone if they fire the first shot....

The MS News Server Admin. (Mr. D. H.) does indeed inded enforce
Microsoft's news posting filter which will auto-block certain content
(i.e, R. L. G-r-o-s-s-i spam and post by
P-C-B-U-T-T-S-1) If a MVP (or other) identifies objectionable of some
Off
Topic subject matter the MS News Server admin. will summarily delete the
posts at Microsoft's discretion. Not that is ONLY on the MS News Server
and if replicated to the rest of Usenet then the posts will be available
on peering servers.
While Imhotep is obviously anti-microsoft OS biased, he DOES have a
strong
understanding of INFOSEC and COMSEC and his POV while taineted, is valid
and I have yet to see his posts summarily deleted or filtered.
...well thanks, I think...
