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 did mention this NG in my post to the test group, and yes I was very much
surprised anyone even read it, let alone responded. I figured it would just
be a bit bucket.
A nice surprise then?
I've explained why *I* was there. Mr Lipman has yet to explain his
involvement. Such behaviour fascinates me.
I could've corrected Doug's mistake, but since it was a matter of absolutely
no consequence, I figured I'd just let it lie, hoping to avoid a long,
worthless sub-thread. Silly me, next time maybe I'll know better.
Why do you consider a sub-thread (as you call it) worthless? Is it
because it costs nothing but time?
