No product key (some posts not showing up on MS servers)
Thank you for the information 98 Guy, but we're loosing the question here(My
fault I started it ;( ) and Marie is helped, I hope, to discover the wonder world of Win'98 and another pc is saved. Lets leave it here. Thank you all for the help and info, learning every day here "98 Guy" wrote in message ... Full-quoter John John wrote: And note - Micro$oft doesn't sponsor or control this newsgroup. Microsoft created the microsoft.* hierarchy Probably they did. Lots of groups are or have been created by individuals and organizations over the years. It doesn't matter who created a given group or set of groups. If they're propagated outside the organization that created it, then they will have no control over what is posted, nor on what is removed. and made it available to the Usenet. Only usenet makes posts available to usenet. Microsoft plays no role in making any MS group "available" to usenet. Microsoft's NNTP servers play no special or unique role in the availability or propagation of MS usenet groups. Microsoft may not control what is posted or replicated on other servers in the Usenet but it does control what is posted or replicated on *their* servers (msnews), The operator of any NNTP server can control or perform oversight and removal of posts. The removal of posts on a local system almost NEVER means that same post is also removed from other NNTP servers elsewhere on the net. for example, Microsoft removes spam and inappropriate posts on their servers pretty well every day, And I see that my post on Wed. Dec 5 (where I posted links to various MS product keys, and specifically posted 5 win-98se product keys) was removed or is otherwise not being shown on the ms technet interface to this group. Must keep someone busy at MS to censor posts like that. Anyone who wants to see the FULL, UNCENSORED version of this thread, should look he http://tinyurl.com/27xre3 There are 19 posts. Only 11 are being shown on the MS server. There is a post on Dec. 4 by Bill Watt that was removed (no idea why). Several posts by win98_fan have also been removed. Oddly, there is a Dec 5 post by the OP (Marie) that also doesn't show up on the MS server, and it contains nothing that I'd consider as censorship material, so it's not clear to me why it's not showing up on the MS server. Maybe you can explain it. Here is a link to the technet posts: http://tinyurl.com/ynqp82 You'll have to expand the tree beside the "No product key" thread. if others who run news servers "synchronize" to the Microsoft servers these posts will also be removed on their servers, Doubt it. Posts that make it to the MS server (but are removed later by a censor) would have been propagated to other servers. The vast majority of usenet operators do not honor external message cancels, so even if MS sent one out (which is only speculation that they do) it is highly unlikely to be honored by the operators of other servers. |
