Default Which XP newsgroups?

was wondering which of the many XP 'groups those here would

avoiding.


These two groups:

microsoft.public.windowsxp.general
microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support

have extremely high traffic and your questions have a high probability
of being ignored or maybe get one or two replies at most.


(As well as newusers and basics, apparently.) Thanks for that.

I tend to post (or, usually, cross-post) XP questions to these groups:

microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize
microsoft.public.windowsxp.configuration_manage
microsoft.public.windowsxp.setup_deployment


Look good. What I suppose I'm after is 'groups like this one in terms of
tolerance, traffic levels, and friendliness/expertise.
