tks Noel, so in other words the MS server moderator would be the cause of
the deleted postings.

Mike and most other regulars connect direct to the MS servers - the Usenet
hosts drop out of the equation then.

Mike wouldn't lost or deleted NG postings be the end users NG hosts
fault?
I have mediacom as a broadband supplier and they delete everything
every
6
days "tops"..
However I use giganews as a NG server and they keep NG postings for
365
days..

Figgs,

You may have "got them" when they were posted but are they still there?
No. What you are seeing is your local cached copy. This has nothing
whatsoever to do with the news client you are using other than that it
retains downloaded messages to a local store.

What Shane was saying, and I confirmed, is that his first post (which I
saw) is no longer on the server but has been deleted. I gather that
Harry
and perhaps others replied to that post. All of these replies have
also
been removed.

Don't believe me? Reset the NG and see what you get? vbg

XP??? Or do they have a Moderator watching Shane......ROFL!!

xx Figgs
and for Har Har's edification, most of the Firefox add-ons are by
authors I have never heard of........but FF approves them, so why not
download them?? You are looking for bad stuff that just doesn't
exist, Har. And I doubt that you are even using FF.
