Re: This vulnerability does not affect Windows Vista

Thanks for answering that Paul, and for a fact that gives me more
understanding on how to help and extend such assistance to others since it
does put me to situations where the real problem and issue churns.

Yeah, I discovered this after posting. Still, I feel that reference to
"MSPSS" is misleading and inappropriate.

No, because it leads newsgroup readers to assume he represents/works
directly for MS Product Support Services.

"A v- is a vendor who has an account on Microsoft's network."

Apologies for sticking my nose in, but why would a vendor have an
account on Microsoft's network?

That's done all the time with every big company. Say for example you are
writing a program for MS, you will needs access to their files say for
testing. There are numerous reasons why this is done.

Re: This vulnerability does not affect Windows Vista

Hello Paul. I've been to your web site (as advertised in your sig. <g>) and
noted the following: It seems you are *real* and can (probably) be believed.

I'm not too sure that applies to others posting here. I've been told that
Sharon Franks is actually PCButts1 for example (purported to be a bad guy)
but, for a 'newbie' coming here there really is no way of telling ..... is
there? Perhaps you, of all people I've met here, would be able to tell - can
you?

Re: This vulnerability does not affect Windows Vista

What I'd be interested to know, Robear, is why you haven't used your normal
signature block in this thread, viz.

~Robear Dyer (PA Bear)
MS MVP-Windows (IE, OE, Security, Shell/User)
AumHa VSOP & Admin http://aumha.net
DTS-L http://dts-l.org/

I'm hopeful that you have a better explanation than that suggested by
'Sharon'. If you and your small group of 'helpers' at 'aumha' are 'good
guys', please tell me, and others reading here, exactly why you chose not to
advertise same in this/these threads. Thank you.

On USENET you can never really tell who is "real" and who is not, and that
really doesn't matter. You simply need to apply some critical thinking to
the posts you read here. After a while you get to realize what constitutes
good advice and what constitutes bad advice. There's really not a lot more
one can do.

Re: This vulnerability does not affect Windows Vista

A wonderful signature this time around Paul - that's me to a tee as, indeed,
was "Compatible: Gracefully accepts erroneous data from any source"! <g>

Thank you for your comment. I agree entirely. My biggest concern, though
(really on behalf of others who visit these newsgroups) is whether or not
one can 'trust' the links posted by 'helpers'. Human nature being what it
is, I'm confident that most come here with a 'pressing' problem (to what
they perceive as 'Microsoft' sites) via TechNet.and will no doubt click on
the multifarious links without a second thought. Few will 'copy and paste'
such links into their browser.

How easy it would be (wouldn't it?) to obfuscate a link so that it might
take someone to a malicious URL. Perhaps things have improved with more
recent patches to MS Windows XP and with the introduction of Vista and IE7,
but I suspect that many individuals worldwide are still highly vulnerable. I
am a little surprised that an operation as successful as Microsoft does not
deem it necessary to 'police' its' own USENET groups to ensure that, if any
bad links are posted, they are quickly removed. *I* think they should!

Just ignore PA Bear. He doesn't know what he's talking about here and is

Why? What's the point? What possible purpose would be served by answering
your question about why he didn't use his normal .sig in his post?

This is not a "Vista only" newsgroup.

I've 'known' Robear here on the MS newsgroups for 2 years. He has, to
the best of my knowledge, always used his 'signature block'.

I discovered quite a while ago that a poster can masquerade as anyone
they wish. I'd just like to confirm (or otherwise) that it was
actually PABear who made the post to which you responded with "Just
ignore PA Bear. He doesn't know what he's talking about here and is
simply making a mountain out of a molehill".

That's all!
