Your assumptions are correct but not often followed. Some may not know about
the other groups or they just don't care.

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?
