i was looking in comp.programming.* considering i was interested in
computer programming. thank you for informing me that the computer
programming newsgroups specific to MS are in a non-logic spot.
Non-logic depends on our point of view. As those newsgroups have been created by
MS, they were free to put the most important name (from _their_ point of view)
to the front of the newsgroup name. I agree that searching the newsgroup names
for C++ doesn't yield the MS Visual C++ related newsgroup (how should one know
that Visual C++ is abbreviated into 'vc'?) This is most probably the reason why
so many Visual C++ related questions end up in comp.lang.c++ or
comp.lang.c++.moderated.
