You've got me ... are you not getting posts because you have the !group in your sys file or because the group doesn't exist anymore and your feed site isn't relaying them.... Or does the group still exist? Someone said they thought it didn't (which was what prompted my query.) For all I know I could put !alt.fnord in my sys file and it would not complain and when somebody actually created an alt.fnord group I would not get it ... I guess the question was whether the sys file was being verified for existing groups or not.... =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= But I am frightened for you, children, | that the life that we are living is in vain, | -Richard Hartman and the sunshine we've been waiting for | hartman@uLogic.COM has turned to rain.... |
