Bill "someone oughtta shoot this poor dying horse" S. That's really weird. I tried the same thing and after several days now my reply hasn't shown up???? That's your Moderation Dollars hard at work Bill "Euros?" S. I have a theory. Let's see what you all think. Imagine that the spammers have hacked the newsserver hierarchy in such a way that this post never gets sent to the newsserver where the moderatior sits. This way he never sees it. However the post gets sent to the newsservers directly underneath the moderator server and they replicate the post to all other Newsservers. When I reply to one of these spammed posts it gets sent to the moderator Newsserver since my ISP honors the traffic rules of usenet. Since my reply does not have an originator post to reply to, according to the moderator newsserver, it never gets posted. It is fairly easy to do this I believe by starting up your own newsserver and setting up the replications yourself. If you on this newsserver don't treat an NG as moderated but just post to it instead of to the moderator as you should, then this might happen. -- Perre You have to be smarter than a robot to reply. -- rec.bicycles.off-road is moderated by volunteers.
