In this NG, we will see many many words not related to dotnet. As I see, may
be the 'dotnet' name is so confusable for one not programmer.

Why not to change a new name like
'microsoft.public.development.dotnet.*'....

hah.

No, that's not the problem. The problem is that on the web forums MS
runs, this group appears at the top of a list for general problems.
It's nothing to do with the name of the group - it's the positioning.

That wouldn't make any difference.
