Outlook It Site
Hello everyone.
Something very fishy is going on. I have been made aware that I have posted on the site below. http://www.outlook-it.com/ The posting has my 'style' but I have no recollection of it. Also, the English is atrocious and I know that this posting is not genuine. Other postings are similar. I would say that the questions have been generated by a program that copies and pastes or sth and that has taken messages from this group. The site itself looks like a standard php site but lots of functions are missing such as 'reply' so it can't function as a site like this normally would. A have also apparently published a second article at the following address http://www.alegsa.com.ar/Visitas/i64... %20itself.php It is a mishmash of previous articles taken from at least two Microsoft groups and even uses my pseudonym Has anybody else had their identity used in this way and what is the purpose of it? Could the MVP for this group possibly take a look at these sites as there is clearly a connection but I can't understand what such a site could hope to gain except that it is going to complicate things for search engines in the future. Thanks in advance Dave Neve |

It appears that messages are being copied to that site in order to give its
forums validity. The Search is disabled but I can see a post from an MVP there that certainly hasn't been given in that forum. It's a copy of a News post. While some sites archive posts this one seems an attempt to make it appear genuine. "Dave Neve" wrote in message ... Hello everyone. Something very fishy is going on.
