Is this newsgroup managed?

Hello,

Just wondering if anybody here knows if any MVP or Microsoft employee reads
the messages posted to these newsgroups before they are published. Is the
content of messages posted here evaluated for appropriateness before the
messages are let into the public domain?

As far as I know, there's no moderation before publication, but
Microsoft has some form of monitoring which can remove (some) spam
afterwards.

I see, thanks for your reply!

In addition to what Jon said, the newsgroup _is_ "monitored" in the
sense that MSDN subscribers posting questions here using their
registered MSDN email address will have a Microsoft employee respond
to such questions.

Great, thanks for the information!
