It would appear that at least some Microsoft news servers had a hiccup
yesterday morning, and many posts that were sent never arrived. If anyone is
waiting for response to a message and wondering what happened, it would be a
good idea to post a new message to that thread.

Those of us who post a lot to these groups are able to use different View
settings to keep track of the threads in which we participate, and to
quickly see if there is any new activity. But it would be a lot of work to
trace all of our messages from yesterday to see that they actually arrived.
If you post a new message to the same thread, our attention will be
automatically drawn to it and we can then verify if our posts from yesterday
got through.
