I am amazed at receiving such a ridiculous response. Nobody *owns* a
thread in a newsgroup. It is perfectly legitimate for someone to reply
to an existing thread where their post follows on from articles
already posted in that thread. If everyone started a new thread about
the same or similar issues, rather than replying to existing threads,
it would defeat the point of threaded discussion. You'll also notice
that I have taken the trouble to post underneath your previous
comments, rather than above them. Therefore anyone reading this will
know that what I have written is a response to the quote above. All of
this is good USENET newsgroup etiquette that you should be able to
verify for yourself.

Regarding me *expecting* Live Sync to work properly; Foldershare was
working fine before the decision to turn it off and force everyone to
migrate to Live Sync. I at least expect any migration to give me the
same level of service that I experienced prior to it. I certainly
don't expect to be forced to migrate to a product that performs worse
than the previous version.

This thread is about how one would log-in to Sync (once it went live) if
one's FolderShare log-in was not associated with a Windows Live ID. It is
not about any Personal or Shared libraries once one has logged-in.
