Hi All

Sad to see this group fold up. After considerable pain I managed to get the
NNTP Bridge work....

What is the equivalent of this group. Currently I can see
Msdn.en-US.vbgeneral and Msdn.en-US.vblanguage

Is this where I should be looking?

Thanks

vbgeneral would be mostly it, with a bit of vblanguage too. I tend to use
the NNTP bridge through OE to see what's new and then the forum if I want to
reply to something. The forum isn't really /that/ bad when you get used to
it; if you try it you may want to change the setting to indent replies.
Still not as efficient as a newsgroup though.

Are all of the Microsoft newsgroups closing? If so when and where do you get
replacements for them?
