It is MVPs who have been made moderators by M$ are deleting messages
from newsgroups. Most of my messages gets deleted and I suspect it is
either Pig-Bear, Ken Blake, Bruce Pig-Hagan or Sheehan Stanley. I
strongly suspect Sheehan deleting my messages. However, I feel
gratified that my messages are being read and that are effective enough
to get at them at the heart of their nervous system where it hurts
most. What more can I ask?.
Calling MVPs as Microsoft Valuable Pig is a serious offense;
Calling MVPs as scum-sucking Pigs is an offense;
Calling yourself as Pig-MVP is also an offense;
Calling Bruce Pig-Hagan as Dirty Old B@st@rd is an offense;
Questioning an MVP is an offense;
Questioning MVPs definition of a computer is a serious offense
especially in connection with OEM software;
So there are many instances why posts are deleted.
Jo-Anne's messages got deleted because she tried to give credits or to
thank somebody who wasn't an MVP. This is even a very very serious
offense punishable by public floggings.
I hope you get the idea.
