98 Guy expressed an opinion:
MEB wrote: since Microsoft _WAS_ the maintainer - the MASTER SERVER for distribution content *worldwide*... You can post no evidence that microsoft was the "maintainer" or "master server" for the posts in these (microsoft.public) newsgroups. If that was true, then any posts made via external servers would have to show up first on the microsoft server, and the PATH of those posts would have to indicate that they were sourced or routed through microsoft's server. And Microsoft could excercise some degree of moderation or censorship if that were the case. Microsoft could identify certain posters (or be made aware of them) and simply prevent their posts from propagating out of their "master" server once it receives those posts. But none of that happens. Microsoft is a PEER in this context, as all usenet servers are peers with each other. You are reluctant to admit this, because you somehow want to believe that Microsoft holds some authoritative role over the microsoft.public hierarchy of usenet newsgroups. This reluctance blinds you to having a true understanding of how usenet works, how servers peer with each other, and how posts are propagated between peers. I have copied this post to alt.free.newsservers and news.admin.misc for others to comment on your technical understanding of this situation. Dimwit, this is a first, at least from my experience, this has NEVER occurred before... are *YOU* going supply the servers AND staff to maintain the _entire_ microsoft.public hierarchy? No, I thought not... And they can comment on that as well. Apparently, "MEB" doesn't understand *propagated* on Usenet. ;-) |

But none of that happens. Guys and gals, on more time. Look at the topography for Usenet and the Internet [and those links I posted to Sunny] and you might begin to understand how this works. Secondary sources transfer some messages among themselves then send that to the maintainer, in this case Microsoft. Microsoft has (tens of) thousands of servers connected to it 24 hours a day, seven days a week 365 1/4 days a year receiving these messages FROM the maintainer. Microsoft then POSTS the messages *it wants* INTO its own public offered service msnews. I demonstrated this aspect/factor to *98 Guy* and this group previously by posting THROUGH/USING Microsoft's NNTP *direct to this group* service; messages I KNEW would *not* be accepted *ON* Microsoft's forums, yet were propagated to various secondary "peers" who accepted that type of message. *THEY* got the message because they got it via the maintainer, Microsoft; it DID NOT appear here because it failed Microsoft's own posting standards within these groups. Public msnews is being closed as is the public maintainer end. That ENDS worldwide distribution. The "peering" no longer exists. Microsoft has also posted official legal *Notice* of what is required, compliance, these groups BELONG to it, nothing else matters. Now use your brains, and stop being ignorant.
