Buck Hodges

The VSTS 2005 page mentions the newsgroups for VSTS (in the Community Resources section beside the "Ask the Team" column). It doesn't stand out, though, and so a lot of people may not realize they are there. The newsgroups are actively monitored by a large number of VSTS folks, so it's a great way to interact and provide feedback (you'll ...
