Where do you think you are?

I am seeing your post reflected on on the Usenet group
microsoft.public.excel.programming

And it has archives searchable from way back via Google groups. There
are plenty of live threads in this relatively high traffic group. About
ten new topics were posted today and plenty of replies to other threads.

Since last October I cannot see any threads that I have responded to after
that date if I do a search on my Display name
When I tick for reply notification I have never received any and I believe
that my email address is being corrupted after I update it - possibly
dropping the .au suffix from the domain
Its not the end of the world but it would be nice to have full functionality


I suspect you are subscribed to some poxy "service" that mirrors a part
of Usenet on the Web and pretends that the threads are its own.

Your msgid suggests that the disfunctional "service" in this case is
being provided by Mickeysoft. I suggest that you complain to them
directly although I would not hold your breath waiting for any reply.

Try
http://groups.google.co.uk/groups/di...t.public.excel

To see what you are missing. Unfortunately Google groups tends to a spam
magnet and gmail a spammer haven these days so it tends to be saturated
with junk. A lot of people have permanently killfiled.
