Using a Newsgroup to publish and teach

T

Tom Ellison

Would it make any sense for me to post installments on a topic with this
newsgroup rather than publishing the topic in some magazine? I propose to
teach a bit, then answer questions, then teach a bit more. Others would be
welcome to contribute to the teaching.

Would this be a waste of valuable newsgroup "space" or a violation of the
purpose or rules for the newsgroup? Should we petition MS for a separate NG
for this? A "Query Teaching" newsgroup.

I know, just another wierd idea. Well, I'm famous for that?

So, any interest?

A couple of topics recently in my posts come to mind:

- Creating crosstab-like queries with expanded capabilities
- The two stacks of boxes query
- A query to create grouping out of a set of options

Maybe these don't mean anything yet. I think I could fix that in a couple
of hours!

Any others like to contribute? Any thoughts?
