From: Tom Willett on 10 May 2010 10:05 : So it may . That's a very grey area. Surely it was firstly up to the Op to : use his/her conscience, and secondly, but most importantly the "mvp : moderator" should have posted REASONS why it possibly violated the licensing : agreement - and not just arbitrarily delete posts..... You need to get used to it. There will be more and more deletions and they won't owe anyone an explanation. This is going to be a whole new ballgame. There will be many posters who, over the years, have been vicious, posting diatribe, senseless comments, cursing, condescension, patronizing...that is going to be history. : : : : : :

So the "My Computer is Broke" morons will win because the post will be considered non-abrasive? This has clusterfu@k written all over it! The MVP's and regular responders will all be in therapy after a few months of that constant abuse and the M$ forums will turn into chat rooms for the mentally disabled. -- "Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you."

They can't find Google, "any key" or the off/on switch, but I'll be damned if they can't find M$ forums, Techarena, Vistaheads or Egghead. -- "Don't pick a fight with an old man.
