These groups are not moderated. MS has filtering software that blocks
out spam. They don't tell anybody exactly how it works and exactly
what's filtered, definitely not MVPs.

Some MS employee(s) somewhere has (have) power to delete postings on
msnews.microsoft.com. Definitely NOT MVPs (who are not MS employees).

OK, I know nothing about the forums. I accept what you say.

I'd certainly agree with that!

We're talking about the new forums, not these nntp groups.

No but you are encouraging people to break the licensing terms
resulting in Micro$hit losing revenues at a time when software
sales is very much down due to economic mismanagement of your
elected leaders!

Ah but you were not a senior MVP; You were only a boot boy
cleaning the dirty boots of Carey Frish who has full control of
the "DELETE" button!
