    That's downright weird, Dale. I don't use GG, but rather
    Eternal-September. Their server has no post from you between Nov 16 and
    your response to Dan today. Since you post through GG, I wonder if your
    posts got caught by spam-filters put into place in response to the flood
    of spam posts via GG.

    I don't use GG, either, and have had nothing (a couple of spam came
    through).

    I gave up on Eternal September and use Blocknews. All of Dales posts
    have appeared but, unfortunately, so have floods of spam.

    Interesting. So you can see my replies, but not actual posts? So I can say snide things about you in notes with impunity? :)
    The spam is too bad. It's funny that the wave began about same times as GG introduced a captcha clockbox to block robots.

    This appeared in another group from a reliable person:

    "Effective February 15, 2024, Google Groups will no longer support new
    Usenet content. Posting and subscribing will be disallowed, and new
    content from Usenet peers will not appear. Viewing and searching of
    historical data will still be supported as it is done today."

    Well, you can say snide things about me anywhere with impunity, Dale :)

    As Graham points out, now that Google has announced its intention to
    exit Usenet altogether (frankly, the writing's been on the wall for
    years now) that might be motivation for spammers... or it could have
    nothing to do with it :)

    I use Thunderbird and Blocknews. The latter cost me about $10 for years
