Plea to Microsoft to stop MVP Bill McCarthy troll activity

I don't know whether anyone from Microsoft regularly reads the Visual Basic
groups but if they do then I am very surprised that they permit one of their
own MVPs to engage in such outrageous long term trolling activities in one
of their own public newsgroups, such as the activity that the person who
purports to be Bill McCarthy has engaged in on the
microsoft.publi c.vb.general.di scussion group for many months. If this man
belongs to you:

https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/pr...9-25680609CCB8

.. . . then perhaps you might like to look at his activity in that group.
Here for example is one of his very latest offerings:

"Bill McCarthy" <Bi**@N0SPAM.co mwrote in message
news:19******** *************** ***********@mic rosoft.com...
Yeh, still a way to go. I think given the warm reaction today,
and given some folks have learning difficulties around here
(obviously why they are still *stuck* in VB6 *only*), might
just have to ramp things up a notch or two, and make it more
toasty :D

I have a list of n inputs of varying type I wish to read from a file: For example: string string int int double double int int int double ... My input file gives its values on a single line, separated by spaces or tabs. However, only the first k<=n of these values are given. Without knowing beforehand what k is, how do I read these k values to my variables and stop reading when I reach the end of the line?

Hi there, We all know Steve Santos. He *really* is an advertising and job-hunting machine. A lot of us have asked him *many* times and in different ways to stop his blatant advertising.

Also he has been 'kill-filed' by many of us. Result: Nada. He did not get enough answers...
