That depends on what news software you are using.  With our
implementation of "rn" here at Schlumberger, I *do* see the messages I
post, but not in the same session in which I post them.  Also, much of
the news software in the United States has a "Distribution: " field,
which can restrict the propagation of articles.  I suspect that many
of the articles you miss are not marked for "world" distribution.
(Correct me if I'm wrong; I assumed that you are not located in the
U.S.)
