Re: Missing MVP's
Addition to my last:
O.K.
I looked at it.
But it seems to require logging in with a Windows Live Mail ID to a
"special" server.
No?
If so, why would anyone want to do that and open oneself up to all sorts of
invasive techniques by hackers and government agents.
Do you REALLY think the General Public is so GULLIBLE?
Well, SOME folks certainly ARE. So you DO have some evidence for their
gullibility.
Microsoft even has a disclaimer that tells us the "Community Forums NNTP
bridge" is not really a MS product -- or you're logging into a SERVER that
is NOT a MS APPLICATION....
Or something of the sort...
It's Aesopian.
Someone at MS should learn to be a better MARKETER...

Yes, but it's just yet another little software program of uncertain pedigree
and value to clutter things up.
If it has no real advantages why go through the time-wasted of installing it
and then removing it?

Try it and see for yourself. It's free and you don't have to make any
real commitment to it.
As with many things, I recommend trying the alternatives (especially
when they are all free, as they are here) and deciding for yourself
which you like better.
I'm not trying to talk you into anything, just inviting you to try
both choices.
