this is a test of Office Online posting - no need to respond

[Guest]

I'm testing what happens when you use PowerPoint 2003's online help feature
that allows posting to the community.

I'm testing what happens when you use PowerPoint 2003's online help feature
that allows posting to the community.

And now I'm talking to myself to see the result.
Pay no attention to me. ;-)

Do we ever? Jabber on. You landed in friendly territory. LOL!

 

[TAJ Simmons]

Did somebody say something?

 

[Kathy J]

I didn't even hear an echo come back, so nothing must have been said

 

[Steve Rindsberg]

Do we ever?

Wise. Very wise.

Interesting though. I show up with an MVP flag on the question but not on the
answer. I can see why that'd happen, but it's pretty weird just the same.

Also interesting that all the replies are by MVP's and none of them have MVP
flags either.

 

[Sonia]

That's because we don't normally use the Web interface, which is the only place
that id is shown. Most of us prefer to use a news reader like Outlook Express
and access news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.powerpoint . If you
have Outlook Express, you might try clicking on that link to see a different
interface.

If you post via the web interface you log in with a net passport. MS knows the
net passport of at least some of the MVPs, so it "clicks". We don't have to
log in or authenticate when we're using newsreaders, so we're effectively "Just
some geek in cyberspace."

We can't. Not without knocking one another over.

Sybil, I mean Steve, were you by any chance tied to a piano and forced to
drink gallons of water?
