There are 2 reasons why I finally gave up posting using
msnews.microsoft.com: filtering which makes posts disappear (they get
accepted without error but won't show up) and users that cross-post to
non-microsoft.public.* groups cannot be responded to if using
Microsoft's NNTP server (else you get notification that the other
non-microsoft.* groups cannot be found).
I'm not going to waste my time trying to figure out today's filter set
used by Microsoft for their bastardization of Usenet with their
peculiar use of microsoft.* groups for their own use via their
webnews-for-dummies interface to newsgroups. There are
non-microsoft.* groups that are related to the same topic so
cross-posting may be appropriate, but you cannot cross-post a reply
except to groups within the same NNTP server, and obviously Microsoft
is not carrying any non-microsoft.* groups on their own NNTP server.
I gave up using AIOE's free NNTP server because of the limit of 25
posts per day, screwup in accepting posts which sends a bogus error
indicating that a post was not accepted when it actually was accepted
so you end up resubmitting the post which ends up with another error
saying you are trying to post a duplicate post, and the non-RFC
compliant requirement by AIOE that a FollowUp-To header be used when
replying to a cross-posted message when, in fact, you want to share
your reply and replies to it to all the appropriate cross-posted
newsgroups rather than disconnect the [sub]thread from participants in
the other newsgroups. I gave up on using Microsoft's NNTP server
because of the poor filtering rules exercised by Microsoft and
problems when replying to valid cross-posted messages because
Microsoft only provided Microsoft newsgroups on their NNTP server. If
I consume my monthly bandwidth quota with my ISP's NNTP service then I
might consider using AIOE's or Microsoft's NNTP servers, or I'll just
wait until my account gets reset for the next monthly quota.
I certainly won't be modifying or tippy-toeing on the content of my
posts because of some unpublished filtering rules that Microsoft
chooses to arbitrarily employ on their own NNTP server.
