Rules of Conduct

Appropriate Language: The purpose of our communities is to exchange
technical information and expertise about Microsoft products. Please avoid
personal attacks, slurs, and profanity in your interactions.

Relevance to Topics: Please make sure that your postings in newsgroups and
chats are relevant to the subject at hand. It is normal for some topics to
drift from the stated subject. However, to ensure maximum benefit for
everyone, we encourage you to keep your postings as close to the subject as
possible.

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

Confidentiality: Please keep in mind that our communities are public
spaces, so don't post anything that you don't want the world to see. Credit
card numbers, product keys, and other confidential information, including
anything covered under a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), should not be
posted to a newsgroup, chat, or other community.

From: http://www.microsoft.com/info/cpyright.mspx, under Use of Services:

"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."

Hi there,

Thank you for supplying this very useful information. By the way, have
you seen the recent comments by some of your MVP's in this newsgroup? I am
entertaining with a Bar-B-Q at the moment so do not have the needed amount
of time....I will be sending their remarks off toy you and Mr. Andrew Brown
later. It will be interesting to see how these rules match up with the
manner in which your MVP's are dealt with.

Thanks for the interesting reading.

Best Wishes.....John Kelly
