I completely agree with Jeff. Dmitriy Sklyar and I actively watch
Technet for both commercialism and spams, and take action to indicate to
the submitter that their submission is inappropriate. I have attached my
private reply for your information. If you are concerned about the
postings, please contact [log in to unmask], or [log in to unmask], you can rest
assured that we will follow-up. This will cut down on thousands of
emails that our server must handle.
Thanks for your cooperation (my reply is below Jeff's comments)
