Not if he's posting through the same news server I am (which appears likely from his header).

Besides I wouldn't send someone to a mirrored newsgroup unless I knew for a fact that it wasn't a
dead zone.

If you're using msnews, you're (correctly) hosed, yes.

Currently, msnews is mirroring this group. That's the view from here,
at any rate. ;-)

You're just being purposely dense. Admit it.

Not everyone is tied to the MSFT news server. Open your mind a little.

..Nxt is one great big dead zone to begin with. You're not really seeing the
big picture. Get your head out of the MSFT cloud. <g>

Which is why I suggested the MSDN forum, in addition to the rather minuscule support in the orphaned
newsgroup.

Common knowledge in this group. You're not telling me anything I don't already know. ;-)

� You're just being purposely dense. Admit it.

LOL! No, my priority was directing the OP to a venue that is well supported and not to one that
Microsoft has dropped.
