Strictly speaking, they are not "auto-deleted", they are "expired". You can have some influence by including an "Expires:" line in your post - but this is only *advisory*. Many sites set a blanket limit (on alt groups especially) of only a few days. > 2) Is any approval of postings required? Not in alt.prose, only in groups marked "Moderated" For more info, see the news.newusers group (and FAQ). -- =============================================================================== Dave | dsg@imp.co.uk | +44 753 516599 | "C^i tio ne estas .subskribo" ===============================================================================
