Herfried,
microsoft.public.de.german.entwickler.dotnet.v b is a German newsgroup.
He crossposted that to that newsgroup. Or is it not allowed to post there in
English, I personally am granted (I thought from a very active MVP in that
newsgroup) that I may do that. (And expect than an answer in the German
language of course)
Beside that your answer is in English, so you cannot have answered from that
newsgroup.
I find it quiet a relevant crosspost, maybe I had added as well in his case
microsoft.public.dotnet.adonet
I had not added the access newsgroups, however that is only because I do not
know what is normal in those newsgroups and maybe Marc is a Regular to those
groups.
:-)
