Cannot login to SQL2005 newsgroup

Hi! I'm trying to refeer my SQL2005 questions directly to the SQL2005
newsgroup rather than here, but I cannot login to the NNTP server using:
* Server: privatenews.microsoft.com
* Account name: privatenews\sql05
* Password: feedback
Does anyone know how to login? Does the newsgroup still exists?
Thanks!
Beto.These were only during beta. MS does not create new newsgroups for each vers
ion. So, just post here
(in appropriate group) and mention what version you are using..

questions about the released version to the microsoft.public.sqlserver

specify the SQL Server version you are using.
Hope this helps.
