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) __________________________________________________ David W.
