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

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

and for Har Har's edification, most of the Firefox add-ons are by

exist, Har. And I doubt that you are even using FF.

Come now, why would you do such a thing?
That's how I got my warning in the first place.
And FYI, I am using FF and IE both in Vista but lately have gotten used to
FF.
Time to play 'catch-up' bg. H.

The question is, Harry, if you reset the group, will you be able to
see it then?


Your current post yes, but I haven't a clue as to why your original post
was pulled. All the more so since the Vista registry destroyer post
still hasn't been pulled despite it clearly being spam and also
inappropriate for this NG.

The original post Subject was 'Firefox' and the follow-up ' Firefox
repost', which is this one, as far as I can see, Norman.
The problem cause was resetting the group, I suppose, and which I try to
avoid.
Does this help you in any way? H.

Hmmm, it is almost midnight and had some liquid refreshment with my
shrimp and chips, so it took me two go-rounds to absorb what you are
saying, lol.

Nah, not about to reset this just to see.....or perhaps I
might.....tomorrow. I do believe I have forgotten how to have just one
drink at a cellular level.....mind you, she poured me a strong one (for
me, that is). And it was........Cdn Club and Pepsi.....I can hear you
gagging all the way over here, LOL!!

Oops......I am babbling, so I really will go to bed now.

Night......Figgs

There is no moderator as such for these NGs. Spam and excessive
multi-posts are mainly removed using pre-defined rules and on requests
sent to Microsoft by users. For example I've just asked Microsoft for the
phrase "Hot Czech Girl Chat" be added to the filters. I can only guess
what happened to Shane's post and Harry's reply (which no doubt included
the text of Shane's post) as I can now see neither but it is possible that
it included a phrase that is in the current filters.

Not particularly. My reader will go to the server to look for an article if
it knows the MID$ of the article. If all I have is the Subject line, and the
article is older than my purge date, location becomes a bit trickier because
the article has aged out of the store.

And even trickier where, as in this case, the article has been removed
from the Microsoft server. The deleted thread is still accessible via
Google Groups
