Bigpond TestPost

[TACAN[_3_]]

Yes, I haven't been able to (reliably) use the bogpond news server for some
weeks now.
It has been very intermittent and I have changed over to tera news.
free.teranews.com
Only about $10.00 AU to join - well worth it, as well as more reliable, more
news groups etc

Cheers
Graham

It looks like we can only see posts put up by other Bigpond users.I can
see my original post and your reply Alan but I can not see Tacan's reply
using Bigpond.Service status page didn't show any known problem.

Bigpond users' posts are getting thru all OK. The Bigpond news server is
not receiving posts from the rest of the world.

The bigpond server is porked.
It is only propagating posts from bigpond customers to bigpond customers.
no one else on usenet gets posts.
I am not phoning any more after 1 hour yesterday and 40 min today, plus a
stupid answer to an e-mail :

"Thank you for your email dated 27 Jan regarding problems with news group.

We appreciate that the difficulties you may experience with your BigPond
service can cause frustration and inconvenience. We are committed to
providing you with the highest level of assistance with any technical issues

We are aware that some of the BigPond customers are having difficulty with
accessing news groups. At this stage, please ask the account holder or an
authorised representative to call technical support on 133 933, so that we

Sounds like they're eventually going to dump that "service" (and I use the
term advisedly)
This news group in particular has a much longer retention time.
I've got more time to catchup with Glenn Aldertons posts amongst others.
Not that I go looking for the hanger queens as well. :-p

Turcaud is a Frenchman who did a lot of prospecting in WA years ago.

He claims that he found the huge Telfer gold deposit. He also claims that
BHP and others started mining Telfer and gave him no money nor recognition.

I don't know what the truth is. A book has been written on the saga.

Here is a starting point

I;m getting the posts from Bigpond here in Seattle via Easynews, so they
appear to at least be getting ~out~ to the 'net.
