Default A2007 - OLE vs. Attachements

Hi, Doug.

Well, then it seems to me that the *bigger* problem is poor planning. If I
were to initiate a fine forum like this (and it truly is fine) then I'd make
sure that I could actually ENFORCE the Rules of Conduct that people have been
asked to respect! Otherwise, why bother with any rules at all?

Personaly, I find the "info-attack" (I don't know what else to call it)
towards Steve far more disturbing than his trolling for $$$. It's downright
CREEPY. The fact that all of that effort goes for naught because ultimately,
the rules can't be enforced makes it more a travesty than anything.

Yikes!

The problem is that these newsgroups aren't moderated, nor can they be.

You're using Microsoft's web interface to post, but you're actually posting
to NNTP newsgroups, not a website.

The groups exist on a multitude of servers, not simply the ones that
Microsoft administers themselves (msnews.microsoft.com). While Microsoft
conceivably could delete posts originating on their server, they would be
unable to delete posts originating on other servers.

Thanks for the clarification, Gina. I'm certainly not defending anyone,
either. I'm simply saying that the "info-attack" on Steve is as ridiculous
and annoying as Steve's trolling for $$$.

This smacks of the Aaron Kempf issue. Good GAWSH - if the Rules of Conduct
are so explicit and clear than why in the world are these things allowed
to
blow up like this?

Simply ban the offender and get on with life. I really appreciate these
forums but I find these playground antics just a bit much and feel
compelled
to voice my irritation.

Well, FWIW, NNTP protocol, which is what this newsgroup is based on is
much old, almost old as the internet itself. You may want to read a Wiki
on NNTP and realize that Microsoft was simply making available an avenue
to what then was popular and reliable protocol for disseminating
discussions. It looks like Microsoft formed the Microsoft.Public
newsgroups in 1994, which is before any reliable web forum software even
existed and the only other good place was AOL chatroom (?!)

You really have no clue about Usenet, then.

Microsoft created the newsgroups. That means they created the
charter for the newsgroups. Repeated violation of the terms of a
newsgroup's charter can be grounds for losing your account with an
ISP, or the news provider.

This is not enforced as much as it once was, partly because many
ISPs ignore Usenet (neglecting their news server, or outsourcing it,
or providing none at all), and no longer employ people who
understand the rules of Usenet (people like yourself, for instance).

One aspect of the dropping of news servers by ISPs is that many
individuals now go to third-party news providers, either paid or
free, and that makes them *more* subject to discipline, since their
account is not with an ISP for general purposes including Usenet,
but it is with a Usenet provider for the sold purpose of using the
newsgroups. Thus, abuse of the terms of a newsgroup can easily be
punished by these 3rd-party news providers banning your account.

In this case, I think you have a point that people attacked Steve
for behavior he hasn't exhibited in this particular thread. That's
wrong, but hardly inexplicable. Steve has made his bed and he has to
lie in it. That means he's going to get treated unfairly in some
cases, but given that he has no respect for the groups he trolls for
work in, I shed no tears for him.

On the other hand, I wish there was more encouragement of his "good"
posts (like the one in this thread), since that might serve to nudge
him into behaving properly, such that he posted more helpful
responses and fewer solicitations. So, yes, it's unfortunate that
this happened, but it was initiated by someone who has been in my
killfile for a long time (and will remain there for the foreseeable
future), so that should tell you something right there.
