Question as to type of answers being asked for...
 

I think it is a good idea to post alternative approaches, regardless of the
newsgroup title.

When I ask a question, I like having options. If the poster doesn't want a
VBA solution, they can just ignore it.

I'm new to these newsgroups, but have a lot of VB (compiled version)
experience, a lot of which should be applicable to Excel VBA programming (as
VB makes use of a subset of VBA underneath). Anyway, a question was just
asked in this newsgroup with the Subject "Date Conversion". Two responders
answered the question with Workbook Functions and I answered it with a VBA
response. I figured that is what was wanted since the name of this newsgroup
is "programming" and there exist another newsgroup named
"worksheet.functions".

So, my question is... should I assume posters to this "programming"
newsgroup are seeking VBA solutions, those to the "worksheet.functions"
newsgroup are seeking embeddable cell formulas and those to the "misc"
newsgroup could be either? Or is there no hard and fast rule for this?
