Yes they are. You are 100% correct, Andy. Thanks for posting. Doug Robbins seems to be an "A-OK" MVP but has obviously *no clue* about what is happening here! Most 'MVPs' are completely stupid and haven't a clue about anything, so you shouldn't be surprised. I saw a message in the 'microsoft.public.test.here'group - nowhere else. Fair enough. Microsoft's news server is probably screwed, which would explain Mr McGinty's post. Gah, was there a "how far can you go off-topic" contest I didn't hear about? :-) Usenet is great fun, is it not? For the record I didn't cross-post anything -- thought about it, then was going to paste a copy of the post that failed into a post to the test group, then I [correctly] theorized it was a chunk of VBS code that was causing it to fail. Problem solved... er, worked-around I should say -- the problem is excessively paranoid filtering. I agree with what you have said. How many usenet clients out there can pick out a chunk of script in a post and execute it? I have no idea! I would suggest that no _decent_ newsreader would go around executing code. Does Outhouse Express have this 'feature'? I wish I could definitively say no -- it damn well shouldn't -- but if you run Spy++ you will find that thw Window Class for both the view and compose windows (even for plain text format) is "Internet Explorer_Server". But although it seems undeniable that the possibility exists, an IWebBrowser2 object can disable the scripting engine, so I going to go way out on a limb here and say the possibility is quite remote. A much more likely vector would be for a user to copy the script to a text file, name it something.vbs, and execute it -- but IMHO, if a user transfers any type of code from a non-executable form/media to one that is executable, without FULLY AND COMPLETELY either understanding said code, or trusting its author, that act constitutes stupidity deserving of whatever it brings. (It irritates me when developers are hampered by attempts to protect stupid users.) Really it's all indicative of what I consider to be a flawed approach to the malware problem: it's commonly thought that computers and software aren't designed securely enough; I submit to you that the problem lies in human ethics and integrity, and should be dealt with accordingly. If the penalty for writing a virus was, say, being burned at the stake, there would be a lot fewer people willing to even think about developing nefarious code... But I digress... :-) -MM [Not cross-posted to 24hoursupport.helpdesk because I can't reach it.] OK - I've done that for you! |

Dave, or who ever you are, stop cross posting to all these groups. These are PERSONAL issues which you appear to have with certain parties. They certainly aren't need here or wanted in MS security.virus, and I'm sure these aren't needed or wanted in these other groups. All of us build a reputation [or lack thereof] from what we post - what the public reads, those "others" make their PERSONAL determination on what they read from what *we* post. NONE of those other *personal* activities [including personal attacks] actually mean much beyond an acceptance or lack of such on an INDIVIDUAL and personal choice basis, others may judge differently. Don't HELP those parties who you have issues with by extending these activities beyond that present scope, otherwise you add "fuel to the fire" and defeat whatever purpose you may have thought you had. PLEASE spend a few moments contemplating what that means, and to understand my attempt to help. -- MEB http://peoplescounsel.org/ref/windows-main.htm Windows Info, Diagnostics, Security, Networking http://peoplescounsel.org The "real world" of Law, Justice, and Government ___--- |
