>MS certainly CAN shut the door on user groups if it so chooses. It is breaking no laws or contracts. All we can do is apply moral suasion.

Yes, by using the word "can't", I made reference to proper ways of doing things and not as far as legal issues.

Yes, thanks for the words, but I was mostly looking for additional information about the related topics. I like the fact however that people got involved quite fast on it. I guess tomorrow I'll have 100 replies. :)
