Minsu, I'm not sure if your frustration is directed at IPC or at your internal IS support.

Yes, you have to be a subscriber to the TechNet to be able to post questions. Any other attempted postings get replies that they aren't permitted to post. It didn't used to be this way; previously anybody in the world could post whether they were members or not. Your colleague that can post without intervention is most certainly a subscriber.

We had to implement this policy because the technet address got published on a bunch of commercial advertising e-mail lists, and TechNet started to get bombed with SPAM, porno, and other messages inappropriate to a technical forum.  We didn't want to go to a moderated forum whereby someone has to read and approve each posting; that's too much like censorship.

By only permitting postings from subscribers, we can more easily identify and block the spammers.  If the normal subscription where you receive each posting separately generates too much e-mail traffic for you, there is are digest options which provide single msgs periodically based on accumulated lines of text, or an index option, where you receive periodic msgs with only the subject lines and you can then access the archives for those things of specific interest to you.

If you have any further questions or suggestions please contact either Keach or myself off-net.  Thanks!  Jack

Everytime I post my message, I have to go through some people.
And I do not know why I need his help, editing, supervising or whatever.
It really made me mad, let alone it takes much longer to see my posting.
Even my colleague here can post freely without permission.
 I suppose Tech Forum is for subscribers regardless of his/her race,
nationality,
bra bra bra...
Please let me post my opinions/questions/knowledge without any interruption.
Your help, thanks but no thanks. I can take care of myself.
BTW, my company is IPC member and I graduated from UGA in Athens, GA.
