Drop the "unsupported web browser" crap on your web pages.

I come to your pages looking for information, and I am well-informed enough
to know the differences between Internet Explorer and current technology. It
is insulting to a well-informed computer user, and an increasingly-frustrated
defender of Microsoft to the rest of the world, for me to have to put up with
such marketing.

Wow - and I didn't even know I had pages.

Perhaps you aren't well-informed in one area: This is a peer support
newsgroup. It is not a direct red-phone hotline to Bill Gates or anyone at
Microsoft.

Also, IE isn't part of Microsoft Office (which is what this newsgroup is
devoted to). Nor is Mozilla Firefox, Opera, etc.

What exactly are you having problems with? If you submit your message to a
more relevant group, and provide a lot more detail (and drop the ranting
tone) you will very likely get a great deal of help, from people who are
volunteering their time in these groups to help others.

While the latter part of that is true, I came to this newsgroup by trying to
post feedback and suggest changes/improvements in Microsoft Office. As such,
I don't expect a direct line to Bill Gates, but I did expect my suggestion to
go to Microsoft. If your statement is true (this is a peer support group, no
direct line to Microsoft), then perhaps someone (I don't know who) should
organise things so that feedback or suggested improvements aren't posted here.
