John,

I am not defedning anyone but please note that the TOU you preseted is for
Software. The Rules of Conduct for the Newsgroup can be found here...
http://www.microsoft.com/library/gal...RulesofConduct.
And to quote...

"Advertising/Solicitation: These communities were created as a forum for
providing peer-to-peer assistance on Microsoft products and services. We ask
that you refrain from posting advertisements or solicitations that do not
pertain directly to the intended use and purpose of the newsgroup or chat."


1. No, I have to agree I do not see it in this posting either. HOWEVER, I
have seen it as much as 9 (nine) times ALL in seperate posts.

2. and 3. As for who the "We" are please refer to postings where Steve has
advertised. If you do a search on Steve you will find the "We" and the
solicitations.

3. He has been reported several times and has had to make several
adjustments to post here. I am not going to defend Steve or
StopThisAdvertising. I will say if you don't want to see either one please
use Killfile.

I don't see it, either. So in this instance one could argue that StopThis
Advertising is in violation of harrassment.

These kinds of "wars" ruin things for everyone. StopThisAdvertising
claims,
"We warned him a thousand times..."

Who is "we" and what/who has given "we" the authority to warn ANYBODY? I
just reviewed the TOU:
http://www.microsoft.com/info/cpyright.mspx#E1

These don't seem to have been altered for a couple years. If Steve is such
a
violator then he should be properly reported to MS.

Steve appears to be a troll and to have taken on other identities. So if
it
can be so easily proven then simply do so and be done with it. I'm
entirely
annoyed by self-appointed forum police!

Considering that Steve has been warned "a thousand times" yet is still
free
to post makes it CLEAR that those who have been warning him are entirely
out
of line.

In all fairness, though, this post lacks the usual advertising... Or
is there something my browser doesn't show?
