Ask for a repost of Surprise's files. One at a time. Surprise posts
properly. It was just a case of one too many in the same post.
Not everyone reads the posts with no attachments, so you may not be
the only one that didn't get them.
We are a ragtag little group, trying to stay alive in the Usenet
world.
That won't happen if we don't know why our posts are falling over.
Sitting on our hands and feeling useless won't help any of us.
I can only help so much. As in Maggy's case. What She says She is
doing and what I see as a display are two different things. We just
have to muddle on.
Ways of accessing Usenet have changed a lot over the years, and
apparently not for the better.
Ways of posting successfully have not changed. Responsible servers
will reject postng that is not quite right.
The problem is with those servers that process anything that is
offered aren't helping people to learn how they can do it better.
It's not email. I can't stress that enough.
Usenet was around before email. And the rules are a little different.
Is all.
