/Nobody/ on these usenet groups is from Microsoft. And if they are,
they won't tell you - they'll be answering on their own behalf anyway.

These so called suggestions are an artefact from the web interface
Microsoft has made for the newsgroups. Most of the people here just
ignore the "suggestions" footer as white noise. As far as I know, that
"suggestions" button is a leftover from some other thing Microsoft once
used and was ported to the newsgoups interface.

If you want to access the newsgroups in a normal way, install a
newsreader (see http://www.newsreaders.com for a choice). Outlook
Express would be the worst choice from the long list of newsreaders,
but still lightyears better than the web interface. At least it's
installed on every Windows pc so there is no excuse for not at least
trying it. You should use the web interface only if you have absolutely
no other choice at all.
The advantage of using a newsreader is that you can sort, filter,
search, archive,... all the messages as much as you like.

If you wish to communicate with Microsoft directly, write a letter to:

Microsoft Corporation
One Microsoft Way
Redmond, WA 98052-6399
