I'm hoping that someone at Google will pick up on the service the NNTP
bridge is using to write their own 'frontend'. Although posting to their
frontend might become hard as it requires WL login.
It took the people responsible for the msdn library at Microsoft almost 4
years to come up with a decent user interface. They now have 3 views, going
from feature rich to very basic. I'm hoping that it will take the Forum
people less than 4 years to come to a similar user interface choice.

Note that you can make use of the Microsoft Answers NNTP Bridge to access
the forums via a newsreader. See

Ok, I just looked at the "social answers" page linked in another
thread. It's horrible -- taking up the whole screen with pointless
graphics decoration, allowing very few topics to be visible at once,
requiring far more clicking and scrolling than google groups -- what
(if anything) were they thinking?????

The modest increase in traffic on the Answers forum and the
disappearance
of traffic from here suggests that the link has been severed, but that
the
hapless user has not yet found his way to the new forum.

I have noted considerable fall-off in all the msnews NGs. I think
people
have already started migrating to Answers, as there seems to be a
steady
increase in questions posted there.
