Guy, Jim, Kent, Adam, Lionel et al, are end users trying to
communicate and share. They are the backbone, the MS user society.
Unfortunately, like spam, there will always be shills, hucksters, and
bottom feeders that will mix truth with fiction to troll for the
"suckers".
The issue here, is that most MS users are already sophisticated, and
most have paid their dues.
The best action, is no action. There is NO NEED to acknowledge the
troll, the person with an ulterior motive. If only 1% reply to the
troller, his/her hook was worth it.

COMPLETELY the hook. The fisherman will soon move on to other lists.
So, Guy, Jim, and you know who you are.... the backbone to the
newsgroup, don't let the those after YOUR money interfere with sharing
information.
