I may be shot down in flames here, am i'm probably guilty of it myself to a 
degree, but there seems to be an ever increasing number of posts to 
newsgroups that have nothing to do with the subject or problem (as I'm sure 
someone will suggest this is).

There's TThread questions in .language.cpp groups, std queries in .nativeapi 
group and database / Indy questions in the vcl.components.using groups.

Please do no think for one minute that i'm some anal newsgroup'er, it just 
seems that people are not adhering to the posting rules.  The groups are 
segregated so that you get the best expert advice in that particular area. 
As it stands, the BCB newsgroups are a perfect area to research and learn 
from information that has been previously posted and thus shared, but in the 
long run, the quality of information will become diluted and lost as we will 
end up with random posts in the most active groups.  What i mean by this is 
that if you have a problem, and start searching for relevant posts in the 
most pertinent group, chances are you will miss important information that 
my have been posted in reply to a problem or question that was raised in the 
wrong group.  The end result is that the best information is scattered 
around several groups and you have to spend an age reading irrelevant posts 
or simply repeat post the same question again.

The .activex, .database.ado and .internet.web groups are all active and are 
more suited to some of these specific posts.

Anyway, just an observation - hope I don't get anyone's back up...
