The last time that I looked, Windows Live Mail is a web interface
facility.

There is no censorbot. There are humans that could, in extreme cases (of
which this is not one), can and do delete spam and other such nonsense.

If you are using the web interface to access this nntp newsgroup that
may be your problem. If you are using a newsreader to read the ngs, then
you'd need to contact your usenet provider or look for their service ng
for clues.

At last a sensible reasoned non-hysterical knee jerk response, thank you
Rob.
I'm not using a web interface I'm using Windows Live Mail, which might be
unwise and the problem, but unlikely.
My ISP? why? This is the only subscribed NG which is exhibiting the
phenomenon. I subscribe to quite a few disparate NGs. If they were all or
some exhibiting it, I would agree with you but this is the only one. I
subscribe to several groups on this server but I've only seen it here. I
suspect it is probably present all over the server but I've only
experienced it here. This is not the only time I had a post go walkies in
this group, it happened once before, a while back, that time I put it
down to possible finger trouble. That was an unfortunate occurrence, when
the initial post in this sequence went missing, that was co-incidence,
when subsequent posts went AWOL while I was investigating, it then became
enemy action.
OK there is no intentional Censorbot, but what is happening is
indistinguishable from one, ergo is one! Something/one is causing it. It
needs to stop!

I think I can safely deduce this group is not moderated, had it been
moderated I feel sure something would've been done about it long ago,
probably I would've been requested to go hence forthwith. It is perhaps
self-moderated, which is no bad thing but isn't in this case working. It
would seem too it is unmonitored, which perhaps it should be. I know of
no way of escalating this to get it sorted, do you?
