Sorry about this test, but, no newer newsgroup messages appearing past the

Must test this OE and server....

Dont know if this message is appropriate,

if you arent reading this group using the microsoft news server you may not

be getting all the posts when they are posted from delays between the MS and

ISP versions of the newsgroup

if not at MS this link

http://news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion will open

your newsreader to the MS server and read the group there

Re: Testing. please ignore

 

I didn't read any untoward, politically incorrect (lol), or nasty language,

so , NO, it's totally "appropriate". <VBG>

 

But anyway, I am using OE here, and all I know is that there was *nothin'

happnin*. Not the first time it's been like that on the servers - and seems

even more common with OE - when there's some conniption fit somewhere along

the line - than it does with The MS web page. Even Google groups access was

about the same.

 

At any rate, maybe it's a combination of things. Maybe there weren't any

posts. Maybe the usual denizens are away on vacation or have migrated to XP

groups or are gone for the long weekend.... or maybe no-one has broken

anything lately... or maybe the server had a case of colic.... <g>

 

But I saw that was "Nothing Happening". Even now, between this post and

the most recent, I only see 10 new topics (not including the one which was

removed from the newsgroup) <shrug> Things aren't as they once were. <doffs

hat>

 

Thanks for the tip though. :-)

 

Cheers.

But be aware that msnews.microsoft.com has become very slow and flaky over

the past few months. ;-)

Re: Testing. please ignore

 

I would say, to also be aware that for some reason; for instance when

accessing the group tonight, though 75 messages were shown upon initial

contact for download [a couple days of messages], it only downloaded 55, the

rest {?} are not to be found; so there is definitely something going on the

server end. It seems OE always show an initial amount [as indicated by the

server] which is thereafter lesser when actually downloaded.

 

I am presently running no blocks or auto-deletes...
