Wow! A message from Gurney that doesn't include "ask elsewhere." Are we
making progress or not?

Not so - it isn't here.

I've just found a whole raft of Gurney message headers in another newsgroup.
However all the messages behind those headers have been deleted. Maybe
someone is blocking his posts after all.

We all wish!

The "Nope. Not time to do that yet." was in Gurney's message dated
6-30, at least in my msnews.microsoft.com newsreader.

Just checked. No such message.

Not time to do what?

I see from one or two replies that Gurney has changed his name to Edric.

However, while the headers are present in this and other MS newsgroups, the
messages have been deleted. Is MS doing this? I understood that they
didn't even monitor these newsgroups.
