Default Test Paragraph 4b

Mike M top-poasted:

You really are completely clueless aren't you?


You're the clueless one, and I'll explain why.

Posting to the MS nntp servers is necessary for two reasons:

a) To verify that the MS servers are incorrectly filtering
valid posts and to get that fixed if possible,


You have the impression that the only place or the only server where you
can read and post messages to this newsgroun is hosted by Microsoft, and
that you must spend your energy to do what it takes so that server
operates correctly.

The reality is that microsoft operates their NNTP server on an absentee
basis. It has never been shown (not at least during the past 10 years)
that any resonsible person can be reached at micrsofot who administers
their server or who is in a position to change, improve, fix how they
operate.

And microsoft is, by far, NOT the only server where you can read and
post messages to this newsgroup. Microsoft does not control these
microsoft.* newsgroups, or act in any way as a central organizer,
aggregator, or maintainer of them. I am making this post via the
aioe.org server, and it is one of many usener PEERS, just as microsoft's
servers are also PEERS. This post that I'm making will be transmitted
between usenet peering servers, and will eventually reach microsoft's
server where it will be accepted and made available to those that read
messages directly from the microsoft server.

If the rules on the microsoft server are faulty or applied incorrectly,
such that the MS server rejects my post, that rejection has no effect on
whether or not other servers around the world will carry my post (they
almost certainly will, with no regard or knowledge if microsoft rejected
it).

b) To ensure that those who use the MS servers are able to read
all messages posted to this NG.


It is more pragmatic and practical to simply change your news server
rather than make a futile attempt to engage some anonymous microsoft
sys-admin and get them to realize there is a problem with how they are
administering their servers and get them to fix it.

May I suggest you go back to playing with your dolls and in
future only post here if and when you have something useful
to contribute.


You may suggest it, but others reading this will realize that I am
making a logical and effective recommendation as to how to handle this
problem that you and others are experiencing, and that your name calling
and child-like language reflects a juvenille intellect and inability to
discuss technical issues like an adult.
