Not when I worked for IBM. We actively pursued newsgroups and had
employees who answered questions in IBM hardware or OS/2 product
related groups. Newsgroups were also a good additional research tool
when finding answers to our own problems...

Maybe that's what's wrong with IBM. All their recent engineering is based
on Usenet articles. ;^)
Seriously, sure there are employees at Microsoft who are paid to monitor
newsgroups, sometimes as part of product testing, but you never see any
"official" utterances out of them. As far as "Personal" pages with
questionable content go, I am sure that is frowned upon at IBM too.

Re: Need Help Finding Plug-end for Loose Jeep Socket
I don't know about them, but at Microsoft unsupervised contact with
customers was discouraged. Unless you are a program manager, or have a
project referred by one, you mind your own business. That of course was
eleven years and more ago. I have recently asked questions in the MSN
discussion group, which is public and semi-sponsored by Microsoft, but you
never see anyone whom you can positively identify as an employee. They are
all "MVPs", which is a species of know-it-all that claims to have special
inside knowledge, but never deigns to name or reveal his sources.
Things were somewhat freer in the early days, and I remember Mac people
posting directly on Usenet, using their real names and company positions,
but Mr. Kiddie ---- at Microsoft and others put the damper on that. Now,
afaik, it all goes through pubic relations. Even the magazines have to
respect that, because they tend to get more reliable, albeit filtered,
information.
