Third time. Yes, your message is getting through. Each additional
posting of it ****es everyone else off a little more. Be patient. The
system works.

Funny that. It didn't **** me off in the slightest.

I've only had it once.

What really ****es me off is that I often see replies to other people's
posts when I never saw the original post. I'm not all that sure the
system does work. It definitely doesn't work for me.

Your problem is that you use BT. Their news server is basically crap and
has been for years.

I suggest that you try news.individual.net, which is free and works.

Aha! I wondered if that might be something to do with it.

Thanks very much for the suggestion - I'll give that other one a try.

Is there any particular advantage to using a newsreader instead of
google groups which I use? Google seems unproblematic except for the
3-6 hour delay in posting.

cheers

Try a 3-6 second delay in posting, messages coming up almost instantly even
on dial-up, being able to show posts in almost any order (by date, unread
posts only, new posts only, alphabetical order...), kill files, most spam
blocked by your ISP, filters....

3-6 /hours/? With a dedicated client and a decent server, postings are
more-or-less instantaneous.
