Postings being removed?

BlankI hate to sound paranoid, but I had put on a posting asking for
information on oxygen systems. It disappeared after several days. I
reposted - same thing - was gone several days later. I then posted what I
thought was a nice bit of information and suggested preflight for the D1 -
same thing - gone after several days.

Frankly I was unaware that anyone could - either technically or
ethically -
erase someone else's post. Maybe this isn't what is happening, if so -
anyone have any idea what is? The messages were in HTML - should this make
any difference?

As you are using Outlook Express as your news reader, have a look at
ToolsOptionsMaintenance. The default is to delete news messages 5 days
after downloading. News servers retain messages from weeks to months. You
may have to delete and recreate you news account settings to recapture these
from the server in your client. Otherwise, http://groups.google.com is
doing a fine job of archiving RFC compliant news groups, unlike the SSA
hosted news groups.
