On 2/24 I posted a question on "Com Interop and ParamArray" and have not
received any response even though I am a MSDN subscriber. What's up?

AFAIK you must post with a registered valid mail address.
(e-mail address removed) doesn't look like such one.

It always has been! Although there has been 2 or 3 instances in the past
year where this has happened. I have made no changes on my end - why would I
suddenly fall off the list?

Perhaps you should take the logical step and contact MSDN customer
support?

I don't know. Was just speculation by me.

Well, I sort of thought just asking was a logical step. If I remember
correctlly, the last time this happened, I found some inconsistancy with my
'profile' vs my 'configuaration' under "Manage my Subscription | Managed
newsgroups | Configure".
I had stated that nothing had changed on my end, but I now recall that I
cleared out all my cookies a couple of weeks ago. You don't suppose that MS
relys somehow on cookies to determine who is a subscriber... do you?
Of course, trying to get in and check my configuration right now - I get an
error message saying it is not currently available...

The problem is that the people you are asking are not Microsoft
employees and can't really help you. It's sort of like going to the
post office and asking another customer why your mail hasn't arrived.
Sure they might have some ideas, but they can't do anymore than
speculate. A much better approach would be to ask the post master
behind the counter.

Well I sort of thought that the concept of a 'managed newsgroup' was that
there are MS employees out there lurking somewhere. And it was more like
standing at the Post Office and asking if someone could please help me!
Well enough of that...I have checked my profile/configuration and my msdn
registered
email is correct. So I guess I will have to contact them the old fashioned
way.

And just to make another point ... the postmasters response was, I don't know
- why don't you try to repost it!
And when your car won't start ... everybody out and back on again! lol

The only thing that is managed (afaik) is that whenever a registered
MSDN subscriber posts a question, it alerts a Microsoft staffer to
answer the question. Besides that, I don't believe there are Microsoft
employees just "lurking" here waiting for a post. Most of us here are
just volunteers.

Terry,
You have to use the MSDN Web newsreader with as Armin said your registered
address to get help from an MSFT.

Terry,
I told you two options, so you are using the Microsoft News HTML website,
strange that they don't answer. The information of your current messages is
by the way complete opposite from that.

Hi Cor,
Yes and that is what is funny about the whole thing. I was hoping that
this thread would lead to what caused this problem. I had double and triple
checked that my profile and configured nospam addresses were identical...
(e-mail address removed) and they were. I did (out of desperation) 'update' my
nospam alias on the configuration page from (e-mail address removed) to
(e-mail address removed) (yes I know they are the same). Maybe that
'straigntend' it out. From my end, I have no way to tell what, if any
differance that made, but it looks like it is working now.

Terry,
In your case I would mail one of the MSFT's direct in this newsgroup, they
have quiet open email addresses if you remove the "online."
