How come I never see the messages that I post, but other people do, because I get replies to them. Also, it seems that I miss other messages, because I'll see a relply to a message that I never saw the original to. I really don't pay attention to the volume number, so I may be missing whole volumes. Any help is appreciated Aric Friesen Addresses: Genie: A.FRIESEN ARPA: Friesen%PCO@BCO-MULTICS.ARPA

With our implementation of "rn" here at Schlumberger, I *do* see the messages I post, but not in the same session in which I post them. Also, much of the news software in the United States has a "Distribution: " field, which can restrict the propagation of articles. I suspect that many of the articles you miss are not marked for "world" distribution. (Correct me if I'm wrong; I assumed that you are not located in the U.S.) Cheers, Greg Wageman ARPA: greg%sentry@spar.slb.com Schlumberger Technologies BIX: gwage 1601 Technology Drive CIS: 74016,352 San Jose, CA 95110 GEnie: GWAGEMAN (408) 437-5198 UUCP: ...!decwrl!spar!sentry!greg ------------------ Opinions expressed herein are solely the responsibility of the author.
