I think the problem is not really a giganews/comcast problem at all but 
actually a Mozilla problem.  If I reply to a usenet post via giganews, 
Mozilla puts up a 'compose' window but leaves open the window with the 
message I was reading.  If I try to send my reply composition then I get 
told my giganews username and password is no good.  But, strangely, if I 
open a compose window and CLOSE the original message, then pressing send 
works.  I don't have this problem replying to mail--only with usenet. 
Strange.
