Hello: This group has morphed into a spammer’s haven, and most of the
regulars have moved on as well.
So as not to lose track of the great ones, such as Biff, Don, Tom,
Debra, Per, and others too numerous to mention, and the incalculably
valuable resource of knowhow they posses, where is the new Excel
hangout? If I follow the instructions on the "Sad Day" post, will I
find the gold at the end of the rainbow?
Thanks for all.
Pierre

I didn't go back to find the "sad day" post.

But Ron de Bruin has a page of instructions on how to access the new MS web
forums using a newsreader:

Imo, my estimate is only 5% of previous excel ng poster/responder
traffic have migrated there.
The rest (95%) - I'm not sure where they have gone. Maybe dissipated
all over to various 3rd party sites ...
It's quite sad & shocking, the exponential decay that's set-in since
MS pulled out the ng plug in early Jun 2010
