Re: posting via MSDN or Google

AFAIK, I dont think there is any difference at all. I have used both
and have settled with Google only because its easier and we block the
port(119?) for NNTP so I cant use another reader.

According to the MSDN website, with my MSDN Universal subscription, one
benefit is:

"Managed newsgroups are for current MSDN Universal, Enterprise,
Professional or Operating System subscribers. These subscribers can
post a message and receive a response from Microsoft Support
Professionals within 2 business days"

Typically, I post with the google groups interface (groups.google.com)
and so far I haven't had any more or less success in getting responses
than with the MS group reader in MSDN. So, is there any difference in
posting using my MSDN account versus posting with just a regular ol'
NNTP reader?

Thanks,
