These newsgroups are not "available via standard Usenet".  They are
exclusively on Borland's servers.

If a copy of some of the traffic here is swiped by your local news service,
that does not change the fact that 1-there are guidelines, 2-you think you
are special and should be allowed to violate the guidelines becauause YOU
have never decided that something in the guidelines actually addressed a
problem and 3-then have the arrogance to decide how these groups should
work.

These groups are not Usenet hosted mainly because guidelines can be applied
on Usenet.  You can review the guidelines here:

  http://info.borland.com/newsgroups/guide.html

You have two choices: Comply with the guidelines or go away.
