Is this a FrameWork.ADONET or a LINQ newsgroup?

As I see so many non LINQ to ADONET questions answered at the moment.

Miha,

AFAIK there are no managed forums, the purpose of my message was mostly to
the MSFT, so that they can use this message to let there be a
microsoft.public.dotnet.linq newsgroup.

That would not only make this newsgroup more clear.

I'll pass the word on to the powers-that-be.

I spend most of my time on the MSDN forums and not here on
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.adonet.
As a SQL Server developer, I am encouraged by my management to spend
time every week on the MSDN forums to help build community support.

Could someone enumerate the advantages of
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.adonet versus the msdn forums
(http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn)?
Why not just use the MSDN forums? Is there some inherent advantage of
this newsgroup I am missing?

I understand that this newsgroup has been around for a long time so
this is good, I see there are good MVPs here too.

Also is there some perception of a disadvantage to MSDN forums? I
know for myself the requirement for Live ID is really annoying I wish
they would get rid of this, but one advantage of this is the
notifcation services (I get notified when people respond to my posts,
etc). I suppose this could be implemented without Live ID. Also the
MSDN forums in general I don't like the interface. I've been working
with MSDN forums internally to improve all these items to make it a
better place.
 
I agree, but they don't listen to me for some reason :) As an MVP, you
probably have a better chance than I do.

Well, I can't say they don't *listen* to us, but actual decisions are
made based on other criteria. At this point it looks like things are
tipping towards the forums and away from the newsgroups, so they're
unlikely to add a new newsgroup at this point ;-(
