Seems around that time I was giving Jerry Keesee a bit of a hard time for letting the fscktards stay around. Coincidence?

Thinking about it Art's posts disappeared at the same time as yours, Jonathan's a little later. So, coincidence? probably. Clearly I had to make the switch - OTC's might have been next. At about the same time a frequent poster on another set of newgroups experienced an odd problem. His post headers appeared from the ES server but trying to view them just produced an error message suggesting that the message might have expired. I did consider the possibility that he might have been posting from inside a time-warp as that would have been the most reasonable explanation of some of his previous posts. Those posts didn't even show up on IN's servers. Unfortunately whatever the issue was with his posts it's now been fixed :( Nevertheless, strange things seem to be happening in Usenetland these days. -- Ian The Hotmail address is my spam-bin.
