Homeless VC++ programmers

I've seen scores upon scores of vc++ messages posted to the c++ group.
I just want to say how IRRITATED I am that whoever is in charge of
developing Google groups doesn't create a group for VC++.

And to those few "wise" "educated" "elite" c++ programmer lifers out
there who get their thrills on Saturday nights ripping apart some nOOb
vc++ programmer for posting to the wrong group, go out and get a date
or something. At least they are educated enough to ask for help,
eventhough they don't know where to go. Some of us DO have hobbies
outside of programming.

I know this is only a few C++ programmers doing this, and the rest of
you are cool. And I know c++ programmers are getting the shaft on this
too since they get to watch vc++ questions plug up their message
boards.

So all I'm saying is in the meantime give a little love to your VC++
cousins, that is, those of us who don't use or aren't masters of the
greatest language written by God himself, c++.

Google doesn't create newsgroups, it provide indexes
and links to them.

I got these links from google:

nntp://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.vc.language
nntp://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.vc.mfc

There are many more.

Mike, details of how newsgroups _do_ get created:

Once more demonstrating why the most common advice in this
group is "read the FAQs"

There is a group for VC++ programmers. Visit:

microsoft.public.vc.language

the really pathetic thing is you don't understand that Google is NOT
in charge of the USENET News groups, no-one is. There are plenty of
microsoft specific groups you are just ignornate of them.
