USE OF SERVICES
The Services may contain e-mail services, bulletin board services, chat
areas, news groups, forums, communities, personal web pages, calendars, photo
albums, file cabinets and/or other message or communication facilities
designed to enable you to communicate with others (each a "Communication
Service" and collectively "Communication Services"). You agree to use the
Communication Services only to post, send and receive messages and material
that are proper and, when applicable, related to the particular Communication
Service. By way of example, and not as a limitation, you agree that when
using the Communication Services, you will not:
• Use the Communication Services in connection with surveys, contests,
pyramid schemes, chain letters, junk email, spamming or any duplicative or
unsolicited messages (commercial or otherwise).
• Defame, abuse, harass, stalk, threaten or otherwise violate the legal
rights (such as rights of privacy and publicity) of others.
• Publish, post, upload, distribute or disseminate any inappropriate,
profane, defamatory, obscene, indecent or unlawful topic, name, material or
information.
• Upload, or otherwise make available, files that contain images,
photographs, software or other material protected by intellectual property
laws, including, by way of example, and not as limitation, copyright or
trademark laws (or by rights of privacy or publicity) unless you own or
control the rights thereto or have received all necessary consent to do the
same.
• Use any material or information, including images or photographs, which
are made available through the Services in any manner that infringes any
copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, or other proprietary right of any
party.
• Upload files that contain viruses, Trojan horses, worms, time bombs,
cancelbots, corrupted files, or any other similar software or programs that
may damage the operation of another's computer or property of another.
• Advertise or offer to sell or buy any goods or services for any business
purpose, unless such Communication Services specifically allows such messages.
• Download any file posted by another user of a Communication Service that
you know, or reasonably should know, cannot be legally reproduced, displayed,
performed, and/or distributed in such manner.
• Falsify or delete any copyright management information, such as author
attributions, legal or other proper notices or proprietary designations or
labels of the origin or source of software or other material contained in a
file that is uploaded.
• Restrict or inhibit any other user from using and enjoying the
Communication Services.
• Violate any code of conduct or other guidelines which may be applicable
for any particular Communication Service.
• Harvest or otherwise collect information about others, including e-mail
addresses.
• Violate any applicable laws or regulations.
• Create a false identity for the purpose of misleading others.
• Use, download or otherwise copy, or provide (whether or not for a fee) to
a person or entity any directory of users of the Services or other user or
usage information or any portion thereof.
Microsoft has no obligation to monitor the Communication Services. However,
Microsoft reserves the right to review materials posted to the Communication
Services and to remove any materials in its sole discretion. Microsoft
reserves the right to terminate your access to any or all of the
Communication Services at any time, without notice, for any reason whatsoever.
Microsoft reserves the right at all times to disclose any information as
Microsoft deems necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal
process or governmental request, or to edit, refuse to post or to remove any
information or materials, in whole or in part, in Microsoft's sole discretion.
Always use caution when giving out any personally identifiable information
about yourself or your children in any Communication Services. Microsoft does
not control or endorse the content, messages or information found in any
Communication Services and, therefore, Microsoft specifically disclaims any
liability with regard to the Communication Services and any actions resulting
from your participation in any Communication Services. Managers and hosts are
not authorized Microsoft spokespersons, and their views do not necessarily
reflect those of Microsoft.
Materials uploaded to the Communication Services may be subject to posted
limitations on usage, reproduction and/or dissemination; you are responsible
for adhering to such limitations if you download the materials

Thanks, Carl.

I hope you can set up a scheduled process to make posts like this at regular
periodic intervals. We all need a reminder at times, and there's no way,
with NNTP, to point out these details except by peridically posting them.
