...appear to have a chronic case of double postings. I've used both I
and Firefox so far on 2 different machines, and many threads ar
duplicated (one after the other) and many posts in many threads ar
also duplicated. Is this just me or is it the custom around here fo
everybody to double post or is there a problem with the forums
 
The problem is with IRUBIN's crappy http://www.WordForums.com/ If he really
moderates that site, he should be on top of it.

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.

Hope this helps

For instance, ajhubble, I read chronologically and didn't even see your post
at all until Doug's answer, because although it is timed 6:12pm, it hadn't
appeared on the server when I checked the newsgroups around midnight.

But I don't see double posting on a regular basis--there's an occasional
spurt of it but not right now.

WordForums.com is a very inefficient way to access these newsgroups. It is
not an independent, self-sufficient website, but simply piggybacks onto
public, international newsgroups. It mirrors the Microsoft public news
server, and mirrors it slowly at that. Your questions show up on the server
hours after you post them, and it seems the answers show up back at the site
late. The majority of the people who may respond to your question are not
using the site. See here for some suggestions on other ways to access the
newsgroups.
