Oh. That sounds a lot better than the way the MS announcement here had
it (which generated no comments; the comments were on an incidental
remark of Graham's as he answered a question).

Who's going to provide the "Answers" there?

Many of those who post answers here are already providing answers there. In
addition, MS has hired some contractors who provide "answers" and then mark
them as "the answer" (whether they are or not). I know you're not interested
in NNTP access, but there is an NNTP Bridge for those who like to connect
that way. You will *not* be able to access Answers via Google Groups,
however (at least I don't think so), as they are moderated forums.
