#11654 — VBScript newsgroups

From"Dave \"Crash\" Dummy" <invalid@invalid.invalid>

SubjectVBScript newsgroups
Message-ID<odqcgv$lku$1@dont-email.me>
Thanks to a tip Garry (GS) includes in his signature, I have added two
VBScript newsgroups:

comp.lang.basic.visual.misc
microsoft.public.vb.general.discussion

But I have to ask, why three general purpose VB Script groups? Why not
just leave everything in one groups so you don't have to jump around
looking for answers?

Never mind. On closer inspection I see that the other groups deal with
Visual Basic, not just VB Script. Curse you Microsoft for your confusing
names!

   Don't feel bad. Most of the programming world
don't know the difference. And since beginner VB
can look almost exactly like VBS, it's not surprising.

Those are 'Classic VB' groups, NOT VBScript groups, for VB6 and earlier.

And thus I unsubscribed as quickly as I subscribed. Still, thank you for
the tip, even if it isn't my cup of tea.

Today is the first day of the rest of your life,
and there's not a damned thing you can do about it.
