Re: Poor NG Support....



Dear Marina,

I too don't think that Microsoft (MS) is required to answer posts.

I do think that ALL posts deserve an answer, EVEN IF IT IS A CONFUSING
QUESTION, TOO MUCH OR NOT ENOUGH INFO, WHATEVER.

If a question isn't clear or there are many solutions to a common problem
and it's apparent that the person didn't Ask.com or Google or search the NG
for their answer, they deserve at least that much of a response, it only
takes a moment.

Even when people post to the wrong NG, it only takes a moment to post that
you think their question is not appropriate for a particular NG and maybe
include a suggestion as to a better NG.

The only posts that don't require a response are spam or adverts.

I don't think MS is required to answer the posts, unless the email comes
from an MSDN subscriber (at least this is my recollection).
In general, this is a peer to peer newsgroup, with people just using their
own time to help out. A lot of times posts do not get answered for reasons
having to do with the post (too long, not enough information, doesn't make
sense, question isn't clear).

Is this a holiday week?

There are way too many unanswered posts!

I dont' care if the person asked a dumb or un-comprehensible question,
they deserve a response even if it is to clarify or re-state their
question and offer a suggestion.

Hang in there posters, hopefully our questions will be asnwered.

JeffP....
