You must set your news reader program to post directly to the Borland news server newsgroups.borland.com. If you post through a local news server, Google Groups etc. most people will never see your post. You can, however, use Marco Cantù's newswhat Web interface to the official Borland newsgroups.The Technical Details
Borland runs the newsgroups on their own news server. They use the standard news server protocol, so it is possible to access the news server with a standard news reader program (Xananews, 40tude dialog etc.). But Borland news server is NOT part of the general Usenet.

Borland runs the newsgroups on their own news server. They use the standard news server protocol, so it is possible to access the news server with a standard news reader program (Xananews, 40tude dialog etc.). But Borland news server is NOT part of the general Usenet. Some Internet service providers (ISP) and Google Groups have found Borland newsgroups so interesting that they copy the messages from the Borland news server and place them on their Usenet news server. On the Usenet news servers exchange posts with other news servers, so messages ripple around the Usenet from server to server. However the Borland news server is NOT part of the Usenet and it NEVER retrieves messages from any Usenet servers. Borland runs the news server on their own because it allow them to remove spam and messages with offensive language. All regular users connect directly to the Borland news server to read and post messages. Only very few people access the Borland news groups through Usenet. Using Usenet is not a problem for reading, but posting messages there will never reach the Borland news server, and hence very few users will ever see the post. Therefore post your messages directly to the Borland news server so all newsgroup users can see your messages. It will also increase your chance to get an answer to your posted questions.
