From: Mike Williams on 28 Feb 2010 05:50 Hi I'm new to VB.Net and I'm wondering if there is any function available that will remove a troll called Paul Clement (MVP) from the VB6 newsgroup? Mike

That does not remove him. It merely prevents me from seeing his posts. What I want to do is remove the troll Paul Clement (MVP) from the newsgroup altogether, so that he is unable to post his troll messages at all. This particular troll, Paul Celement, is a Microsoft MVP and he is trolling a Microsoft Public newsgroup. I would have thought that Microsoft would have the power to prevent one of their own MVPs from trolling one of their own newsgroups, or at least have the power to remove his MVP status if he refuses to comply. Is that not the case? Mike

Are you saying that Microsoft would be unwilling to discipline one of their own MVPs? Sheesh! Disgraceful! Mike |
