Is the server for this newsgroup working consistently today?

[LuckyStrike]

Tried posting a reply to Sindi - RE: Updates,etc initial post of that thread
Dated Monday, July 05, 2004 11:33 PM (MDT). First message was downloaded and
showed in the thread, but was "removed from server" (???)

OK, tried posting it again, and again. Three times. Shows up in my sent
folder everytime, but not at the NG.

OK, tried to Ping someone (twice), and included that failed post within it.
It too shows up in the sent folder but not in the NG.

What th'...?

So, this is just a test. If I have consistent problems, I'll post to OE
newsgroup.

Hi LuckyStrike

Well this worked, but of what use is it? I'm trying to reply to
someone,... not do a test for cryin' out loud. :-|

It may be running slow today, may be a heavy load first day after a long
holiday weekend. I've noticed some of mine are not showing up for a while
too. :-|

Yeah, I tried pinging you twice which had the contents a reply (very lengthy
~ 5 KB) to Sindi which I wanted you to try posting. It didn't work, I then
Pinged Sindi myself and it doesn't appear.

You say yours are slow appearing also? But they eventually show up then I'd
guess. About how long is it taking? It can't be an hour. Plus, my first
reply did show up, but upon trying to open it, it couldn't be displayed,
message may have been removed from the server, blah-blah. :-\\

I've tried like 5 or 6 times. Well, no good deed goes unpunished, or so I am
told. ;-\

Pinging? I didn't see any or I would've, of course. I've tried e-mailing
you 3 times today, and nothing yet. Did you not get the one I sent again
late last evening either?

Or did I get the Royal Spam dunked again? Oh well....<sigh>

I don't know what the is wrong with that post, but it took me a good 40
minutes to work it out, get the links, provide extra stuff, and
then...kerblooey...nothing but nothing worked. Sheesh.

Pings too; neither to you or Sindi. Again.....sheesh!

I dunno, I might be dumping them. If they are "$23885", "lose 50 pounds in a
week", "Viagra at cost", or some such they get the 'ol heave-ho! <g>
.....Where are you writing to? That is a totally munged addy which I use. If
you are sending there, they should be bounced back. lemme know.

any of mine blanked out. Why...what at did you say?? <g>

I have had that happen, in the cnews. ng, for the Corel Draw ngs. It would
sometimes never show, then sometimes, it would spring up 2-3 days later. Oh
well...better late than never. And a couple of mine were blanked too. And I
didn't say anything against Corel. ??

Welllll noo..I wouldn't be writing *that* kind of stuff. The one below your
signature. Is that not your *other*

Yeah... I know what you mean... I didn't bad-mouth MS. In fact, I supplied
further support for MS and use of certain features of OE as a newsreader,
etc. Guess it's just very touchy that's all. We'll see if all bandwidth

Well...they can keep all their fancy schmancy readers, I have tried several,
and I like OE. It's easy, takes little to operate, which is good when I'm
working in my sleep, and gives me little if any trouble. Twix me and Cox, I
have no viruses, only a few spams first round only, then Cox blips them
next time. I don't like worms, so none are allowed. Not into Roman history,
so no Trojan's allowed. I use both IE and Foxfire 0.91. And lots of toys

Roflmao! "Not into Roman History..." said Jan. Lol!!!

I've had Foxfire 0.9.1 installed for awhile, but I did a custom install, and
said "don't import *anything*". That has made it a little difficult to use.
Probably I should un-install it (courtesy of Total Uninstall - a program I
cannot live without) and then allow it to "import my IE stuff". But I still
don't want it as my default browser; not yet anyway.

I don't use the Foxfire for my default yet either, but, it wn't make much

Can one change from the cotton-candy Windows FP (Fisher Price) coloring to a

for the menu's, but hadn't noticed anything for the actual browser itself.

There are some themes you can get in the Extension Catalog that we can use
to change the appearance. I have not had time to play with those toys yet.
The one helpful extension is the one that tells you if your on a
spoofed site page. It tells you which page you're on. Really good to know
with all the pseudo sites out there.

An issue which arose just the other day. That is why some give plaudits to
Firefox over IE, plus the lack of ActiveX and Scripting (I think). You know
how I feel about the loose use of those items.
