Long ago, .... in my recollection, ... when I first started to post queries
and answers in any MS Newsgroup, I could use 'real' my e-mail address and
received answers to my queries not only this site/general view but also by
my e-mail address. However, after about three years later, this practice
completely ceased and needed to create 'fake' e-mail address.
Then, in my guess, ... all MS Newsgroups have changed one after another, ...
from 'real e-mail address' to 'fake one.' Now, all MS Newsgroups went to
the web-site.
For me, it's a sad change, ... but probably, the society including this site
needed to change according to the people's reaction and general society.
Hopefully, web-site is as good as this site.
