It may not be Al's fault. He uses Newsfeeds and they are having 
problems. When my ISP "upgraded" their lousy news server last 
month, and I could no longer get uklc, I called them and they 
gave me permission to use a Newsfeeds server again (having given 
up on them a few years ago). Since I got back onto uklc, some of 
my posts are not showing up and others show up multiple times. 
And the delay time to read a post is sometimes hours. When I hit 
"send" it sometimes hangs for minutes. Who knows if was sent or 
not?

I subscribe to Newshosting.com's unlimited server (which works 
flawlessly) but it doesn't carry uklc. It's mainly for binaries. 
Great for MP3's for example. So I tried their "suggest a 
newsgroup" function. But when I put in uklc, it comes back with 
"already available" which it is, on their other servers, but not 
their "unlimited" servers.

You can't win.

I tried sending this as a reply to your post and it wouldn't 
accept it. Said your message, which it had just displayed, 
didn't exist. Newsfeeds is sick.

My message does so exist!

You tried it five times in all, I think. It posted under the "ID Cards" 
thread 4 times, at 11:16, 11:15, back to 11;16 and 11:20am. Then this 
one is timed at 11:20.

By heck, there's trouble at t'mill.

I suppose they can't get it all wrong.

I just discovered another wierd problem.  If I have Photoshop LE open at the
same time that I'm trying to post something to usenet using Outlook Express
then OE will claim that the news reader hasn't responded for 60 secs and
asks if I wish to retry.  After several retries I usually give up but OE
usually manages to send one or more copies.

That's very interesting. I get the same lack of response when 
posting. I'll see if running multiple programs is my problem. 
With my luck it will be one of my resident programs - anti-virus 
or whatnot.

I'm not using OE or Photoshop.

Ivrything's Al's fault-skol!

What's me name, belch?

I have an overwhelming need to share this with you all. Its about what
I hate most about newsgroups . . . . control freaks like netnannies
and net cops and here is why.

They are  like when a little bit of shite gets stuck just inside yer
rectum not far enough down that you can squeeze it either in or out.
It just lies there, you feel it but can do nought about it. It just
sits there and irritates the hell out of you. The only effect is the
production of irritation nothing else. That is really what they are
like. They achieve nothing else. The trolls are still there!! 

Shite in yer rectum will eventually be resolved. Netnannies and
netcops are always there. The name and individual may change but there
is always some shit baiting and upsetting harmless trolls. The effect
is to give the troll a mission in life. Look at the uk.local hierarchy
at the moment, yorkshire, birmingham and essx in particular. Ruined
for the average poster. The majority of groups are empty, except for
troll droppings, spam and the odd genuine post!!! 

What amazes me is that some of the netnannies not only boast about
reporting contributors to their ISP but attempt to get other people
to do the same. This gives the troll an extra boast of "adrenaline".
Its all beyond me! 

Maybe I am too sensitive a guy.

Thanks for your interest.
