Default Can't see postings from computer of origin (newsgroups)


I've googled and have seen this problem posted in the past, but haven't seen
a solution.

My new posts and replies get sent out, but I can only see my post when
someone repeats it in a reply. I can also see my posts in google, if I
archive, but they never appear on the original newsgroup. Up until a couple
of weeks ago, my posts appeared within minutes. I've contacted both
Brighthouse (isp) and Road Runner with no solution. I've unsubscribed and
resubscribed to groups without avail.

Does anyone have any idea where to locate the source of this problem? Is it
the newsgroup provider or is this some weird computer sickness?

I run into the same problem with certain newsgroups and have had zero
luck tracking down the issue. If you find a solution PLEASE post it
here!!!

Thanks

Do you have OE set to filter out posts made by you using a filter rule?

Ya know, I fee sooo dumb! Couple of weeks ago I added a poster named "NR"
to my killfile. I'm not sure how this pertains to filtering myself out, but
apparently it did! Robin "contains" an N and an R, so apparently the rule
applied itself to any poster name that contains these 2 letters. (I have OE
6.0)

Many thanks, Happy Holidays, and a toast <clink> to you at the cyber clue
bar! <doing the happy dance> Amazing that none of techs at Brighthouse and
Roadrunner thought of this either!!! DeMoN, you're great!

I got so tired of all the rants and flaming that I finally killfiled
myself.
