Re: Question to the generals in this newsgroup including MSFT's

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

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.

Is this a FrameWork.ADONET or a LINQ newsgroup?

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