I don't know if any of you can see these posts I'm posting.
I can see them (I know they're posting okay) but I can't see any posts from
anyone else.
I have raised a tech support query with Tiscali (my ISP).
I can post stuff, and I can then see what I've posted and post replies to
it.
But I'm not seeing anything anyone else has posted.
Before 26th August this newsgroup was receiving in excess of 100 posts per
day.
I fail to believe the world has stopped posting!
I think the Tiscali news server is only seeing posts from Tiscali users, and
is not getting new posts from the outside world.
Hopefully Tiscali will check out their news server and get it all working
again.

CAN ANYBODY HEAR ME???

Its me again!
Okay I've dumped Tiscali's news server.
I'm now using one of the rare totally open free news servers that allow
posting.
This one's in the Netherlands somewhere I think.
This is just a tester to see if it allows posting.
