I think the web page forum format gets in the way of simply - and directly - handling the support messages, but maybe some like it. Perhaps the newbies(?) Just for kicks, I also looked at the replacement "Community Forums NNTP Bridge Server", which is supposed to be an improvement over the regular MS NNTP bridge, and noticed it requires .NET Framework 3.5!!! Egads! But no matter what version of NNTP bridge you use (should you decide to go that way), you apparently have to sign up for some arcane Microsoft service (I can't recall the name now), which seems a bit of a nuisance too.
