Is comp.databases.ms-sqlserver more active than

Which NG is better for general and 'learning SQL 2005' types of
questions??

Thank you, Tom

microsoft.public.sqlserver.server (17k message in last 7 months) is
more active than comp.databases.ms-sqlserver (11k in last 18 months),
as is microsoft.public.sqlserver.programming (8k in last 2 months) and
at least a few other of the other subject-specific microsoft groups.
If you connect directly to the Microsoft news servers at
msnews.microsoft.com you get most of the responses a bit quicker than
if you go though a different news server.
