Default Are These Newsgroups Defunct?

Over the last few months I have posted questions of the sort for which I used
to receive fairly rapid responses. None of the questions have been answered
or even responded to. Are these newsgroups lapsing into a state where no
MVPs bother to look any more?

The groups used to be a major tool. I hate to see them become otherwise.
Anybody even seeing this post?

Hardly. When posts go unanswered it is usuallly because they are either too
vague to permit an answer or are posted to the wrong group. Your last 2
posts, for example, would have been far more appropriate in an Exchange
group.

The Outlook newsgroups get tens to hundreds of new posts every day. Try
using a newsreader instead of the lousy web interface.
