Another factor that I have noticed is that various combinations of ISP, mail reader, and operating system (mine are Ticnet/Waymark, Outlook Express 6, and XP) produce different results. Messages that I post are noted as being unread almost instantly, apparently because somewhere in the software chain, it recognizes that what I post is coming back to me even though I haven't asked OE to look for group updates. On my wife's machine, (Mindspring, OE, 98) the availability is slower, apparently based on the server software going and looking at the news group server. -- Mike Firth Good point Mike. A few weeks back I went through a 2-3 week period where my posts were only showing up on my computer. After a few weeks of no replies I did some research because not even *I* can **** off everybody in every newsgroup. For some reason my reader had quit posting beyond my computer. I had to delete the identity and re establish it. Jack |

Very funny, "not even *I* can **** off everybody" bet I could do it!! |
