What is up with the SQL newsgroup?

[Guest]

I know this is the wrong place to post this question, but I don't know where
else to post it. I tried to call Microsoft, but they want my credit card to
resolve this problem. I just posted a question here that should probably go
in the SQL group, but I can't get there.

I go to www.microsoft.com
I click on 'Communities' in the left navigation menu.
I click on 'Newsgroups' in the center navigation menu.
I click on 'Sql Server' in the center navigation menu.
I get the following error (I have been for about a week or so):

We’re sorry, but there is no Microsoft.com Web page that matches your entry.
It is possible you typed the address incorrectly, or the page may no longer
exist. You may wish to try another entry or choose from the links below,
which we hope will help you find what you’re looking for.

Why don't you try posting to one of the usenet groups under
microsoft.public.sqlserver or microsoft.public.sqlxml?

If you're looking for free support from MS under the guise of one of
their corporately-sponsored newsgroups... well, if they offered that,
then nobody would pay for phone support, would they?

scroll down to SQL Server and select the most appropriate SQL server forum
for your question.
