Can Anyone See this Post?

Once again I've reported the problem to Charter.net. This time, they
claimed that they were "escalating it to their Engineering department".

Can anyone see this post?

I strongly suspect that posts through Charter are only visible
to
other
Charter users. This has been going on since Wednesday, the 16th
(for
me,
anyway). I've reported it to them several times, but so far no
resolution.

This would appear to be the case, since no one but me has
bothered
to
respond. There's gotta be other Charter users here though,
wouldn't
you
think? Just out of curiosity, have you tried posting to other
NGs
recently?
What part of the country do you live in?

I live in Redding, California (far north). Apparently, Charter
uses
a
third-party provider for their newsgroup service (Highwinds), and
both
seem
to be pointing fingers at one another. When I called Highwinds on
their
800
number, the first thing they said was that "if you're a Charter
customer,
please contact Charter tech support". And, Charter tech support
admits
that
Usenet is not a high-priority issue for them.

FWIW, I have posted to other NG's, and all of them experience the
same
behavior (i.e., posts not visible).

Is this apparently a national problem with Charter? I had wondered
why
I
was
seeing no response to my not very frequent postings.

I'm not sure, but suspect that it may be. I've called Charter half a
dozen
times since Thursday, and they claim that they are "working on it",
but
so
far no resolution.

FWIW, Charter has a very bad reputation for their news server support.
They've farmed it out to a third party, and apparently don't really
care
whether it works or not.

My only alternative at this point is to post via Google Groups. But,
that
has a really clunky interface, and it also posts your email address
where
it
can be harvested by spam bots (there's no option to hide your email
address).

Thanks...I guess they finally got it fixed after 4 days of it being down for
new postings.

Still not visible at 8:13 p.m. (Central time). I bet it was a
good one.
