I did check under my Accounts, msnews properties and found my "server timeouts" settings were set to to the short end at 30sec. I changed them to the long side, 5min. Lets see what type of change, if any, this makes. Thanks again for the help.

It's right on the FIRST tab that is shown to you. Now slap your forehead.

And your messages are screwed up because it looks like your Reply is part of my Reply because of the way the > characters are inserted. While you read a post, the fact that your reader goes out to get more messages should not disturbe the post you are reading, but you can click TOOLS>OPTIONS, and in the Send and Receive Messages section, increase the time between checking for new messages. Longer delays are usually better. I have my refresh rate set to 30 minutes. If I want to check sooner, I simply click on the Send/Receive button.

It's not unusual since it's a "general" group and IE/OE go together up to 6. We do have a do-gooder in our midst that likes to decide what groups need to see a post, and often adds to a cross-post but in this case I think he's innocent.
