Yes, an ORM-related newsgroup would be more appropriate. There you have
people who know the advantages and disadvantages of various ORM's.

Few, if any, in the language-related newsgroups will have used an ORM,
and if they have, they have very limited experience.

But as I said - some people think any question can be asked in any
newsgroup, no matter how thin the connection. But others prefer to
direct people to appropriate newsgroups, where they will get GOOD
answers from knowledgeable people.
