Dear Managed newsgroups moderators:
I have a universal MSDN subscription. I was under the impression that
queries posted to these managed newsgroups would receive answers in a few
days? I vaguely recall another thread/post that mentions the e-mail address
of the poster has to match the universal subscription records. Not sure if
my Passport (MS Live) account uses the e-mail address of my universal
subscription; perhaps that explains the lack of response to my post? Any help
you can send my way, so that my questions are addressed quickly, would be
greatly appreciated.
