Hello, I've tried posting an article in comp.laser-printers twice now, and it's apparently not passing the "moderator" (I'm guessing this, since Pnews is giving me a message that my posting has been mailed to a moderator, and I'm not seeing my message there, or any others, for that matter...). Anyhow, I'd like to find out why my posting isn't making it through the "gate". Do you know how to discover the "moderator's" email address? I'd like to contact him/her directly to see what's up, what's not, and why. Thanks for the help, john@osf.org

Have your news administator check and correct this. (Backbone needs to point to one of the Usenet backbone sites. These sites (using mailing aliases) handle the forwarding of postings to the correct moderator.) -- Matthew Lee Stier | Sun Microsystems --- RTP, NC 27709-3447 | "Wisconsin Escapee" uucp: sun!mstier or mcnc!rti!sunpix!matthew | phone: (919) 469-8300 fax: (919) 460-8355 |
