ARE THERE ANY GOOD SSRS FORUMS ANYWHERE?

I use a lot of the Microsoft forums and they are all responsive and
valuable - except for this one. I never get a question answered here. I
notice about a third of the people do ever get answers.
In addition to this SSRS is a very problematic software system with lots of
quirks.
Does anyone know of any good support forums on SSRS?
Also is there any good books? (I don't like my WROX book).
Thanks,
TThis forum is good for two things. One is an answer from me because this is
where I hang out <g> but eventually I will move on too. This is also where
you get managed newsgroup support (if you have a msdn subscription). If
using that then you are guaranteed an answer in this newsgroup.
Otherwise, the best place to go are the web based forums. That is really
where the action is for RS. This newsgroup is dying.

We should have one forum where everyone goes rather than splitting the
community amongst two places.

questions answers but not all - so there must not be any "guaraantee" unless
I dont know how to enter this newsgroup from the proper channel. I would like
to know how to enter as an msdn subscriber in that case. Thanks Bruce.

that was my question ... since I havent always received one. However that
isnt meant as a complaint because the people here are pretty good about
answering things they have experienced themselves.

Even if that's true (and I'll need some convincing), there's no way in hell
I'd ever post anything anywhere with my real email address. I get quite
enough spam and junk in my email as it is, without wanting to invite more
from anyone that's capable of reading email messages from Microsoft's news
servers...
