I linked to the PowerPoint newsgroup, you linked to the Microsoft  
forum.  They aren't the same.

The newsgroup is useful in that it *isn't* a Microsoft forum, just  
users and some Microsoft MVP's.  I find both forums to be useful for  
different things.  (Just as I find this list, and other Mac  
discussion lists, to be useful for different reasons than the  
official Apple forums.)

At any given time, one or the other seems to get slow for a while,  
but neither is moribund.  Use whichever you find most useful.
