Bingo. I have inadvertently "block sendered" my editor at ASA, but that
was
mail, not news. Thanks for the lead.

Would one of you computer aces explain why, after I have posted a
message
in
a newsgroup, I can see the replies but cannot see my post? Outlook
Express,
and I don't think I have changed any settings (on purpose, that
is....who
knows what I may have done by accident).

Maybe you accidentally killfiled (added to the blocked sender list :
MESSAGE - BLOCK SENDER) yourself (or, maybe not accidentally :!) )

Check TOOLS - MESSAGE RULES - BLOCKED SENDERS LIST.

Problem here is I usually see replies to my posts a day or two before
I see my post. Some times they show up instantly and other times it
takes a day or two.

Damn...you should talk to your ISP. My posts typically show up within 2-5
seconds.

Does anyone know their typically "turn around" time?

Dejavu? Or was that "Double Vision"...are we talking about the same
thing?


Actually more of us need to be able to do that. It sure would cut down
on the spelling errors.

Outlook Express,


My boilerplate plug for Agent:

I highly recommend Forte Agent as a newsreader. It handles newsgroup
messages far better than any "included" newsreader such as those
bundled with Internet Explorer, Outlook, Netscape, or Opera--all of
which I have tried.

Download the software at www.forteinc.com/agent/download.php

The program includes the latest version of Agent as well as its
freeware version, called Free Agent. This enables you to get the feel
of the software without paying up front.

However, where Agent really shines is in its ability to filter out
objectional subjects or posters: Control+K and you're done! It was to
get that functionality that I upgraded to the paid version a year ago,
and I have never regretted it. The cost to register the software (and
thereby to unlock the full-featured version on your computer) is $29.

(A major revison is in the works. However, if you register the current
version, the upgrade will be free.)

all the best -- Dan Ford

and the Piper Cub Forum at www.pipercubforum.com

I heartily agree! I use Free Agent myself -- have for years now. Much
better than anything else I have tried.

Outlook Express, and I don't think I have changed any settings (on
purpose, that is....who knows what I may have done by accident).

That sometimes appears to happen when you refresh your header list before
the server has actually posted your message. This timing issue seems to
cause a discrepancy between the local message store and the server.
Resetting your local message store usually resolves this issue.

Right click the newsgroup and click Properties. Click the Local File tab
and then click the Reset button. You'll need to re-pull the latest
messages.

Could be your ISP (or the news server company they contract with). I have
had similar problems with my own ISP, and it comes and goes. I try not to
worry about it too much. Nothing I can do about it, since all of the local
ISPs I'd use contract with the same news service (supernews.com).

Does it happen every single time, or just sometimes?
