Microsoft Gives MVP Award to Adware Pusher

[Roger Abell [MVP]]

Really, why is it that my "just works"??? No problems no matter how you
post...please explain this.

My NG client has no problems. How do you explain that?

And, what is it that you needed to do to place the follow-up
on your reply to my posting? If it was automatic by KNode
then either you defined a preference for it to do so for you or
KNode is broken in volunteering a follow-up header.
In either case, many, not just I, find it obnoxious.

Again, the issue is you (or your instance of KNode),
not the software of others.
But you will never see that, and I do not care to see you
attempt to explain that once more.

 

[Roger Abell [MVP]]

Again, "ra", you have done nothing but hijack this post and others, which
had a serious topic, and turn it into a discussion about your broken
newsreader. You say I am childish? Hahahahahahaha....

Yes, you do appear quite selfish, and your occassional rants childish
I did not hijack this thread, although I did note it to be inapproriate.

Again, I challenge you to help people with their security problems rather
than hijack them...

I believe I do assist.
That you can say that makes you appear to read only your threads

As far as I have seen during the past year plus, you rarely attempt
to do so, lest it is with a "get Linux" style comment. Talk of hijack!

However, just to reassure myself, I looked. (see below)
I notice that right about 50% of your postings under this name in
msnews hosted newsgroups in 2006 are replies in your own threads.
I wonder why.

You need to get these post counts up before you attempt to make
claims over your great helpfulness in solving real problems as actually
experienced by people.

(oh - in case you are unfamilar with the public origin of this info, yes,
one can simply click into any one of the threads to each of your posts)

Seems you *still* are...

Not when you hijack.

That you can say that makes you appear to read only your threads

English please.

As far as I have seen during the past year plus, you rarely attempt
to do so, lest it is with a "get Linux" style comment. Talk of hijack!

Like your endless rants of newsclients here in a thread about a new MVP who
supported malware?

However, just to reassure myself, I looked. (see below)
I notice that right about 50% of your postings under this name in
msnews hosted newsgroups in 2006 are replies in your own threads.
I wonder why.

Easy to deduce. How many time have you hijack the topic, like here, forcing
me to try and steer the conversation back on topic for the sake of the many
users here. What don't you investage that? Ah, I guess the truth hurts now,
doesn't it.

You need to get these post counts up before you attempt to make
claims over your great helpfulness in solving real problems as actually
experienced by people.

Maybe that is why you hijack posts like this one? Don't feel you can
contrube but *also* want to increase you news post counts?

Listen, I do not get evaluated for the number of news posts. I believe an
MVP does.

If I was getting evaluated for the number of news posts, I would use my real
name, *like* *you*...

My NG client has no problems. How do you explain that?

If it works flawlessly why do you cry so much. Explain that, spanky.

And, what is it that you needed to do to place the follow-up
on your reply to my posting? If it was automatic by KNode
then either you defined a preference for it to do so for you or
KNode is broken in volunteering a follow-up header.
In either case, many, not just I, find it obnoxious.

I find your constant hijacking obnoxious but you don't seem to want to
change anything either. Maybe you should take you own advice???

Again, the issue is you (or your instance of KNode),
not the software of others.
But you will never see that, and I do not care to see you
attempt to explain that once more.

Funny, my newsclient just works. No problems what-so-ever....I guess if
yours did, you would never have brought it up, or even noticed, a problem
now would you? However, you did. So you *did* have a problem but you just
don't want to admit it...now that is funny!

[Roger Abell [MVP]]

Not when you hijack.

And you, not when you fragment threads

English please.

It is. I do not care to diagram for you.

Like your endless rants of newsclients here in a thread about a new MVP
who
supported malware?

That topic was dead out of the starting gate.

forcing

I like the truth. I just do not see you displaying it much, certainly not
here/now.

You clear do not understand how it works.

As I see you are quite difficult to wear down, I guess just ignoring you
would be the best way to minimize your presence, ey?

 

[imhotep]

And you, not when you fragment threads

It only is fragmented when you do not know what you are doing! So from your
point of view, I guess it is....

It is. I do not care to diagram for you.

Oh please...

That topic was dead out of the starting gate.

That Microsoft gave a MVP to a spyware pusher? Not at all. If nothing else,
it signifies that the MVP does not mean much. You have one right?

I like the truth. I just do not see you displaying it much, certainly not
here/now.

The truth is you *do* hijack the topic of this and other threads. You know
as do I.

You clear do not understand how it works.

Funny, mine works flawlessly without any problems. I simply click and go.
You are having problems but, *I* don't understand?

Hahahahahahahahahahaha....

Thanks, for the chuckle!

As I see you are quite difficult to wear down, I guess just ignoring you
would be the best way to minimize your presence, ey?

I don't really care what you do. I never have. You're just learning that
now? You really are slow....

Roger, let's be honest here. Your whole rant here was not about anything
more than the fact that Microsoft messed up and gave a spyware pusher a
MVP. You being a MVP felt your had to somehow defend/protect Microsoft. I
would respect you more if you were just honest from the beginning. However,
you are not. As such, I view you, and your posts, as pretty much worthless.

In either case, ignore me if you wish. Never did care much what you did...

[Leythos]

I am sure looking like a clown comes quite easy to you...

I wonder if you are related to PC BUTTS 1.

 

[Leythos]

Which is exactly why I set the "followup-to" a very common generalized
newsgroup. In this case "microsoft.public.security". This newsgroup just
about all newsservers carry.


Read above...This would only be true if I set the followup-to to a
specialized, and hence non-popular, newsgroup...

Except you don't know what groups are carried by what ISP, and you state
you are trying to reach the masses with your message, but you don't seem
to care that the non-technical will not be able to properly reply to
your message due to the way you break the chain for your own personal
pleasure.

Legos,

Again, read my post. I intentionally place a very common group in within
the "followup-to" field. In fact the most common newsgroup. Did you not
even read my previous post?

Go away the amateur hour is over.

Road Runner in my area does not carry that group, and RR has a LARGE
base in Ohio, like the number 2 provider in Ohio. In fact, RR is three
areas I just checked does not carry "microsoft.public.security".

So, your method means that 10's of thousands of people that might see
your message are unable to properly reply to you unless they know enough
to fix your improper use of Follow-up methods.

Well, you are acting just like he did before he was banned from using

Well, you are acting just like he did before he was banned from using

Legos,

So you are telling me that you felt compelled to warn me of my sins? Please.
You were better off not "contributing" to this thread....

Again, I challenge you to contribute not flame. I prefer to contribute, but
be forewarned, I can flame with the best of them....your choice.

Funny, you are posting microsoft.public.security now?

*Most* ISPs *DO* carry microsoft.public.security...

In either case, I am not going to stop. What I am doing is FULLY within the
specs of NNTP...you can keep on acting foolish if you wish but it is not
going to change anything.

I would suggest, that you read up on all the features that you are clearly
unaware of...knowledge is power. Get powerful.

You are indeed quite dense, and able to claim anything as if it made sense.
It is all too clear you have never cared what anyone (except yourself) has
had to say (unless it agreed with you).

No, I'm not, it's in the newsgroup list, as I can keep groups in the
list even if they don't exist, as my Usenet clients allows for the
proper reply method.

I'm actually reading your crap in m.p.w.security_admin. The Road Runner
servers in our area do not have microsoft.public.security.

So, again, you're screwed in the head in your claimed method, you are
not helping the readers, you are breaking standard practices and causing
people that don't carry the group you set Follow-Up to, to have to
change the NewsGroup list in order to properly reply to the THREAD.

I'm fully aware of all of the Usenet clients, and have been doing this
since 84, and your actions are improper and work against your stated
goal.
