Something is amiss for sure, but I can't continue in this thread as it has exceeded the "two Dave limit".

As far as my participation, I reply to people whose messages I see. Where my replies go from there is anybody's guess. Usenet is a world of alternate realities with no two servers having the same content, numbering, or threading schemes. Sometimes posts disappear because of the X-no archive flag some people like to put into their posts. Some Usenet servers actually discard these posts entirely. Other situations might be ASCII that looks like binary (such as 8-bit character sets) being rejected by those news servers that refuse to distribute binaries. >Then again, it appears to me that, in turn, David Kaye replied to Peter >with comments addressed to you (not Peter). On your screenshot, it >appears that nobody has replied to Peter and David Kaye *did* reply to >me. To be honest I don't often pay attention to the name on the post. I reply to content. I did reply to one message after someone (who?) posted a link to a screen snap showing the thread and a message to me which I hadn't otherwise seen. >It could be misthreading due to missing posts. It looks like MS can't >even do NNTP right. May not be a MS problem. Usenet is not perfect, but it's damned good for what it is. So a posts gets missed here and there. It's not the end of the world and it's certainly not a reason for some people to get bitchy about it. ALSO NOTE that Usenet netiquette is that all posts are OPEN TO ALL, they're not addressed to specific people. I often use someone's post as a springboard for something and may not be replying directly to them or answering their question or their comment CROSSPOSTING: Also note that if a post is crossposted to several newsgroups and one of them is moderated, NONE of the copies will go out until or unless the moderated newsgroup approves it. If the moderator doesn't approve it it won't show up elsewhere either. This is a good argument against crossposting. |
