Default Why no RTF newsgroup?

Hi Chris,

Generally, the Rich Text Format would be in the 'deprecated' (not a primary format) from MS's perspective going forward, especially
with the use of XML file formats as the primary ones for the Office products starting with the 2007 versions, but the Word
newsgroups have tended to more by functionallity rather than internals or version.

Questions on RTF within Word have tended to show up in the Word conversions group (link below) or one of the Word/Office Developer
newsgroups (depending on what language or programming tool you're using to consume or create RTF content outside of Word), or one of
the sites MS has started proliferating that don't have microsoft.com as part of the domain name g such as the Open XML site at
http://openxmldeveloper.org

Was there a specific question on Word tables and RTF (and the version of Word) in this instance?

So then it should be a Microsoft newsgroup? microsoft.public.rtf?

Is there any way to suggest such a thing to Microsoft?
