You are looking for bad stuff that just doesn't exist, Har. And I doubt that you are even using FF. Come now, why would you do such a thing? That's how I got my warning in the first place.

Shane wrote: The question is, Harry, if you reset the group, will you be able to see it then? Your current post yes, but I haven't a clue as to why your original post was pulled. All the more so since the Vista registry destroyer post still hasn't been pulled despite it clearly being spam and also inappropriate for this NG. -- Mike Maltby |

Hmmm, it is almost midnight and had some liquid refreshment with my
shrimp and chips, so it took me two go-rounds to absorb what you are saying, lol. Nah, not about to reset this just to see.....or perhaps I might.....tomorrow. I do believe I have forgotten how to have just one drink at a cellular level.....mind you, she poured me a strong one (for me, that is). And it was........Cdn Club and Pepsi.....I can hear you gagging all the way over here, LOL!! Oops......I am babbling, so I really will go to bed now. Night......Figgs "Mike M" wrote in message ...

There is no moderator as such for these NGs. Spam and excessive
multi-posts are mainly removed using pre-defined rules and on requests sent to Microsoft by users. For example I've just asked Microsoft for the phrase "Hot Czech Girl Chat" be added to the filters. I can only guess what happened to Shane's post and Harry's reply (which no doubt included the text of Shane's post) as I can now see neither but it is possible that it included a phrase that is in the current filters. -- Mike Maltby RockyTSquirrel wrote: tks Noel, so in other words the MS server moderator would be the cause of the deleted postings. |

My reader will go to the server to look for an article if it knows the MID$ of the article. If all I have is the Subject line, and the article is older than my purge date, location becomes a bit trickier because the article has aged out of the store. -- Norman ~Shine, bright morning light, ~now in the air the spring is coming. ~Sweet, blowing wind, ~singing down the hills and valleys. |

And even trickier where, as in this case, the article has been removed from the Microsoft server.
