rec.aviation.soaring

[Vorsanger1]

For the past couple of days, I have been unable to delete from r.a.s. those
threads which I have already read, in spite of hitting all buttons which had
enabled me to do so in the past. The result is that the site is getting more
and more loaded with stuff which I have already read.

Does anyone else out there have the same problem, and can you tell me how to
fix it ?

Cheers, Charles

Yes, same here, Charles. I'm pretty sure it's an AOL thing. It's been a while,
but I've experienced similar things in the past ... sometimes it takes them a
while to straighten it out. I can't complain, it's been a long time since
they've had this kind of glitch ... other services I've used have them every
other week.

Hi Charles,

I haven't seen you at Crystal for weeks. I hope you will be flying on
Sundays again.

My guess about your question is that the control of deleting r.a.s.
threads is in whatever newsreader you are using (I use Agent)
and/or the news server to which you are connecting. Actually, I guess
this is not much help!

Hope to see you soon.
