I saw Harry's reply at Google Groups and opened OE to respond - to the
effect that the article gave the link to the author's site and part of the
point of linking to the article is that the reader reads it. Also that if
you can't bring yourself to trust this guy's plug-in then really you should
only install those made by members of your own family - if you trust them...

I wondered why I hadn't seen Harry's reply in OE though. Sure enough it
wasn't there. So I reset the group and not even my initial post comes down
now.

So, will this appear? If this is getting pulled, on this subject, this needs
taking further.

So, the original post, again:

I can see it all right, Shane, must be at your end. 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.

Apparently there's more going on than meets the eye, Mike.
This group taught me well in being careful. H.

"Trust, but verify". Actually since Windows ME isn't compatable with Firefox
3.X we need all the protection we can get.

Heck, I got all of them, Mike and Shane. Is that because I am using
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.

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

Yes, that's what I thought too. I really hope this was a mistake - even
incompetence - rather than the paranoid explanation. Because I am so sick of
our civil liberties/privacy being eroded.

A Moderator? Who knows, eh? I walk past the original - and still
operational - GCHQ when I go to the local supermarket. It's about 10 mins
walk away as the crow trudges through the fields.

(It's funny how so many people think it's acceptable for the spooks to
intercept our internet access, as GCHQ - among others - wants to do, when
the only difference between that and the Insecurity Services opening
everyone's snail mail is logistical, yet that would be clearly seen as
treating us like convicted felons. That we have a Government that works that
way is just about the beginning of the end).

Shane
