All(!) VBA questions, regardless of what object model they're operating
under, go into a single group? <LOL> Morons...

Where is this list of suggestions, anyway? I haven't seen it.

Thanks...

Take a closer look at those Answers forums there is "metadata" that allows
you to sort by product. You can only see the Frontpage discussions if you
like.

Not very useful when using the NNTP Bridge - I rarely visit the forums with a browser. My newsreaders (WLM and MesNews) will only use the NNTP headers for setting rules, so for bridge users its all or nothing. But at the moment this group only gets 2 or 3 posts a day so it may eventually be swamped by FrontPage posts.

Was that meant to be a private communication, or are you talking about
options that are available for non-/ex-MVPs too? Are there hidden
options for other orphaned products, as well?

I'd suggest that the forum software that NNTP Bridge connects to add a
header or headers that contain said metadata. But my newsreader can only
filter Usenet messages on the Subject and Author headers, so that
wouldn't help me.
