Hi, I have tried posting three times in the last week ,
am I on a ban or some thing?

I see 3 postings from you with similar titles: "Paste link break down" on
2-18-2010 at 8:25am (PT); "Paste link not working" on 2-18-2010 at 10:25am;
and "Paste link failing" on 2-22-1010 at 4:25pm.

Both of your postings on 2-18-2010 have responses that asked questions. You
never responded. If you are not "on a ban or something", perhaps you should
be. ;-)

Seriously, it is up to you to keep track of your postings and to respond
when necessary.

Arguably, the MSDG web interface does not make that easy for you. It's
search feature behaves strangely. But there is always paper and pencil
records. I assume you are capable of writing.

It would behoove you to use a different interface to access these newsgroups
(aka discussion groups). Some people prefer Google Groups. Some people
prefer to access the MSnews server directly by using Outlook Express or
Windows (Live) Mail. Each has their own pros and cons; none is perfect.
