If Yahoo groups and other forums start charging, I think the RAS

decided that they would contract USENET services, rather than keep
pumping the local news server and bandwidth. As a result we've lost
contol of the process and I think my old posting addresses have been
blacklisted without notice as my posts don't bounce, but go nowhere.
To date, the news host is non-responsive to requests to whitelist it or
even explain why, so I've been using g-mail for a while. What I don't
understand is why some are setting their preferences to expire posts in
six days. Is what they post of so little value?

I didn't even know you could do that. How is done? My newsreader
(Netscape 7.2) doesn't seem to have a setting for it, and I'd like to
know if/when my posts are set to expire.
