[MS] answers

Hi everybody
I noticed some answers on this newsgroup are posted by MS people ("MS" follows their name). Do they really work for MS? If yes, then how do you know it's not just somebody who just attached "MS" at the end of their name

Most of them do, I believe, yes. How do you know? Well, you don't,
really. Just like you don't really know for sure that this is me (Jon
Skeet) posting and not someone pretending to be me.

Indeed, a while ago there was someone posting as if they worked for MS,
but they clearly weren't (based on the content of their posts).
