I was posting Q&A at microsoft.public.dotnet.vb.general
from outlook express, but that group seeems to have
disappeared off the face of the earth. Why are there so
many similarly targeted newsgroups and is this the main
one that vb.net developers are using?

Confused.

I have never seen that ng.

This is the main VB .NET ng.

It was alive and working through early yesterday morning, then just stopped
accepting or displaying any new posts.

That's OK, here is fine.

There are some news servers that host a newsgroup by that
name... I was confused by it at first too. You can navigate
to it through groups.google.com:

http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=...=off&group=microsoft.public.dotnet.vb.general

It's not part of the official Microsoft hierarchy. If you use the
news.microsoft.com server in Outlook Express, you won't see
it. It must be some sort of unofficial newsgroup that's hosted
on other servers.

Really little traffic in the ng... Thanks for the information.
