Is this newgroup monitored at all

I know that Bruce Loehle-Conger (MVP) answers a lot of the questions posted
to this newsgroup, but I have posted 3 messages in the past 2 weeks or so
and gotten no replies at all. I know there are no guarantess in life ;-) but
is there anyone who regularly monitors this newsgroup to make sure posted
questions are being answered? I don't think my questions were difficult or
unreasonable, but not having answers is hampering my development efforts
with SSRS.
Thanks in advance for any input anyone can provide,
Chris GeissMS started the web based forums and pretty much that is the only place MS
people hang out and answer question with one big exception. If you are doing
managed newsgroups (have a MSDN subscription) then this is the place you
have to post and then an answer is guaranteed.
If you have MSDN subscription you should look into that. Otherwise, I
suggest trying the web based forums:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/sql/support/forums/
I haven't hung out there much partly because I don't like web interfaces.
The volume is going down here though so I expect to eventually move over
there as well.

what does this mean? I used to post here through Google Groups; I'm just
wondering what the difference is...
Thanks

are the originator of the post (so if you add on a question to another
existing thread it is not monitored) they monitor it and make sure you get
an answer. I believe they guarantee in two days? The MSDN site specifies
this.
I have two newsgroups setup in Outlook Express. My normal one and then one
for managed postings when I have a question for them.
