>When answering a dotnet question directly, it would be wise to also direct

questions.
Why, that sees the OP from where he gets the answers.
And when you don't want those question in the newsgroup where you are
active, than ask Microsoft to change the name of that newsgroup to make it
more clear to newbies or tell it yourself.
It would be crazy when there is a crosspost between the newsgroups that
somebody active in one tells that his newsgroup is "better".
Just my opinion.
