Censorbot?
"Rob Giordano [MS MVP]" wrote in message ... 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. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rob Giordano Microsoft MVP Expression 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? -- Wisdom and experience come with age, they say, but I wish I could remember the darn question |

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

I thought the web interface was Windows Live Hotmail, but there again I'm trying to use Windows Live Mail as an email/UseNet client. Neither of which needs any web interface. merely transport. -- Wisdom and experience come with age, they say, but I wish I could remember the darn question |
