Do you have any idea how he is able to quickly find any post I make even

It just caught my attention that you are an MVP. How do you contact an
official that oversees that program?

emasil@ address wasn't valid you didn't need to change anything.

A little detective work leads me to believe that the replies you refer to
are by one "StopThisAdvertising" (Arno R?; e.g.,
http://groups.google.com/group/micro...fc55ce3e6028e9)
who keeps posting a link to the very interesting page
http://home.tiscali.nl/arracom/whoissteve.html

Other than continuing to change the name & email address you use when
posting (which you've been doing, it would appear, in order to shake this
guy), there's nothing you can do about it except ignore him (or clean up
your act & stop soliciting business in the MS newsgroups...which happens
to be a violation of the Code of Conduct).

MS Outlook Express has little to do with what shows up in some
header
lines.
While you can control the name and email address, you can't control
the
IP
address. The server you connect to sees your IP address, and either
adds
it,
or not, depending upon how it is configured. That is up to the NNTP
server
administrator.

Consider your posting headers:

NNTP-Posting-Date: Thu, 03 Jul 2008 16:47:25 -0500
From: Rob
X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.3138
X-RFC2646: Format=Flowed; Original
X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2900.3198
Message-ID:
X-Usenet-Provider: http://www.giganews.com
NNTP-Posting-Host: 64.181.89.216

Those are some of the lines I would use to search on. You have
control
over
line 2. MSOE controls line 3. Your NNTP provider controls the rest.

to pay the anonymous informer using PayPal and everything. Maybe it was a

whole slew of problems, then do so. If it gives you a macho thrill to use
your real name, secure in the knowledge that you have plenty of buckshot in
your ammunition closet, then do that too.

But please don't stoop to calling people cowards. That is something worthy
of the Vista newsgroup. If you don't trust anyone who won't use his or her

Yes, set up your newsgroup account with a fictitious name and email
address.

If you want a truly throw-away address, that you can still check, if need
be, look at www.mailinator.com

The irony is that "David Spencer Hines" has posted under the fake

he/she's a coward him/herself.

But then, we knew that already.
