Is my albasani server at fault? See if there are other posts from Astraweb that aren't appearing on your server (I'm not sure who else use them, Mezei maybe). If there's a problem with Astraweb's propagation, I can alert them to it. -- Very old woody beets will never cook tender. -- Fannie Farmer

If there's a problem with Astraweb's propagation, I can alert them to it." I'd have to research this one. It is all very uncertain this usenet business. I am getting worried. All the posts alt.html in one thread today, for example, are missing at Google, save for the original post. I worry because it is a serious business if I do not appear *everywhere* at the same time on earth. And it is worrying because some of my favourite irreverent folk like yourself and/or some knowledgeable people are not appearing in my MT. -- dorayme

I'd use Google groups, which seems to pick up everything, and is free, if it weren't so ugly. Maybe god's canceling my posts; maybe Howard Knight is.

Are you seriously saying that Oates is one of your favorite people? Your idea of the material JR quoted from him is just "irreverent"? -- John Varela Trade NEWlamps for OLDlamps for email |
