Nope, we're all gone. CrashLander forgot to make last month's payment and
we've been repossessed and thrown out into the street.

It you'd reset your article numbering, this wouldn't happen.

Newsreader clients keep track of article numbers, with their "newsrc"
file, but across all platforms, the software designers may not
use that name. That is the name you might have found in a Unix
environment. For example, if I edit my .rc file, (which I did),
and set

alt.comp.hardware: 1-1

and then connected to Eternal-September, my newsreader would pull
new articles until it was up to date.

If a person subscribes individually, to the newsgroups, one
at a time, the article numbering should also end up proper
and consistent. But I just copied my .rc file, for one news server
to the other, so I had to reset the article numbering. If I
had not done that, a potential side effect would be, no new
articles showing up.

But as long as it is on-topic, IMO there is nothing to complain about
and the answer is potentially very useful. That is true especially in a
text-based forum like this, where you can choose to read or ignore
anything.

Then you should be rolling on the floor laughing your ass off at what
WayPoint posted. Or maybe you just have a very different sense of humor
than I.

OH... I get it. The smiley face was the punch line.
Good thing he did not use two smiley faces, they would have never let Tom
out of the asylum.
