Interesting fenominum

I have noticed lately that quite often I can see reply to posts but not the
main post itself. Any one else seeing this restriction of bits and bytes??

This has been around since the dawn of cyberspace. It is probabaly
better to wonder why Usenet works at all, than to ponder why it has this
sort of quirk.

Hi Fred

Sometimes (but not often anymore) I get a thread days ahead of the
original post.

I have my reader set to ignore an unless I have read the original
post, then show the thread under the original post.

Then we have the trolls, who purposely type in front of their
subject, just to confuse the issue even further, thus the primary
reason I kill all threads where I have not read the original post.

It also makes navigating the newsgroups much easier!

Gary,
I will experience the same now and again. The delays being a day or two. If
I go to google I can see the missing headers. I was just trying to figure
out why my ISP is not getting them.

I guess I should just relax and throw a few foot balls through a swinging
tire. G....
