NNTP access

[Bill Sanderson MVP]

Folks - if you are viewing these groups via NNTP, we are experiencing some
"technical difficulties" at the moment. Please bear with the server admins,
who will undoubtedly get this straightened out, but perhaps not before
Monday.

Bill,

Thought I was an MVP for a moment-Oh and by the by-saw alot of not very
nice stuff;that was supposedly "private".

Not much I can say about that. I know just what you saw, and indeed it
isn't very nice--not an area that reflects well on the MVP program.

I have to confess that I took your initial message, and published it in that
group, with a CC to a Microsoft executive. I should have asked your
permission first, I think, but I viewed it as a public post. If I'd taken
some more time to think about it, I probably would have thought to munge
your posting address, but I don't expect you'll get any negative feedback.
I'd certainly like to hear if you do.

Basically, I suggested that it would be good if we all thought about how our
words would look if they were public, as they were....

So--some good may come of your experience yet. Thanks for letting me know
about it. (I do read and post in that group, but very selectively and
infrequently.)

Bill,
Rest assured that even though I saw and read many"private"
correspondences between MVP's and MS ppl; I have no intention of being
vindictive maligning or in any way intent to do people and/or organizations
involved,harm. Saddens me in a way;however;the intent and thought processes
that were shown in there.
And I would gladly accept any feedback from MS about this incident;that
would help to improve any misconceptions or perceptions of those involved.
Including myself. If on the other hand;negative stuff arises;all I can say
is; at least you weren't involved.
Jeff PS my active e-mail is not what I post.
