Real time posts?

Another factor that I have noticed is that various combinations of ISP,
mail reader, and operating system (mine are Ticnet/Waymark, Outlook Express
6, and XP) produce different results. Messages that I post are noted as
being unread almost instantly, apparently because somewhere in the software
chain, it recognizes that what I post is coming back to me even though I
haven't asked OE to look for group updates. On my wife's machine,
(Mindspring, OE, 98) the availability is slower, apparently based on the
server software going and looking at the news group server.

Good point Mike. A few weeks back I went through a 2-3 week period where
my posts were only showing up on my computer. After a few weeks of no
replies I did some research because not even *I* can **** off everybody
in every newsgroup. For some reason my reader had quit posting beyond my
computer. I had to delete the identity and re establish it.

is "delete the identity" a new fangled word for "whack 'em?" and start
over?

Very funny, "not even *I* can **** off everybody"

bet I could do it!!
