Yes, it can be annoying to be told to go to a difft group: but
it *is* both the best way to ensure that the person gets help
from the people who actually know what they're talking out, and
to help the newuser learn how to use usenet.

If you follow these groups, you will see plenty of help given
to newusers, *if* their questions are on-topic.

All the above has been repeatedly explained by others, and
this thread is now off-topic for demon.ip.support.*, since it
is about newsgroup policy rather than login failures.
