Something odd with the original post on this thread,
Posted using Outlook Express.
It may be read using Agent and Google groups.
But does not appear to OE users.

It was OK for me.

The replies can be seen using OE
My other posts appear ok.
Anyone any ideas as to the problem?

Well it could be that your newsserver never got the original post of
course (I haven't checked which one you use) but OE does have a bit of
a reputation for that sort of thing. It is most notorious for not
showing your own posts but it can do it with others too.
