It's not a Forum it's a Usenet group. And what exactly might your
complaint be? That your spam posts are being removed?

The best place to post a complaint is on a 'sticky note'
just write down the complaint and stick it on your computer tower!

No, it's not. This group is hosted and sponsored by Microsoft. It just
happens to be echoed to Usenet, but it's not is not a Usenet group per
se. And the primary user interface is their Forums web site at
<http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/default.mspx>, is it
not? I could consider that a "forum".

Are you referring to your "data recovery" SPAM posts being deleted from the
server?

It's Usenet, pure and simple. The "forum" web site is a joke at best.

Wrong, this IS and has been a Usenet group. Just because MS pollutes
most things with their twisted definitions does not make it what MS
wants it to be.
If MS were to stop existing on Monday, this group would continue to
replicate around the world - it IS Usenet.

MS does do that elsewhere, but hosting a newsgroup on their own server,
accessible via nntp, is NOT a "twisted definition". Lots of companies
have done it for decades, though fewer now than used to. Web forums is
the popular way now.

Whichever way you want to cut it, or however you want to interpret
things, these Microsoft groups that we are posting to are public Usenet
groups, they always were, and they always will be. Once created, Usenet
groups are like gossip and the (proverbial) feathers in the pillow. If
you let the feathers out during a windstorm you will never be able to
gather them back to stuff them back into the pillow!
While some users like "Web forums", I and many others, think that the
"Web forums" are just the most atrociously agonizing way of accessing
these groups! I think that if you look at the headers you will soon
realize that "Web forum" users are actually by a large margin in the
minority, it isn't the "popular way now".

You seem to be misunderstanding. MS is hosting a USENET Server with MS
groups, they have a web-portal to it for people that don't understand
the internet.
Let us test that theory...
Sorry, but that's how Usenet works, they don't care about MS being alive
or not.
