I have seen no postings on alt.binaries.pictures.woodworking since 1 Sep
except my test message sent today. My news server is news.xtra.co.nz.

I can see from looking at usenet-replayer that there have been postings,
but I cannot see them with Thunderbird, slrn or Pan.

Can anyone else see postings to this newsgroup? For example a posting
labelled: Noth'n fancy..under the saw router table

Cheers,

Larry

Did you used to get the feed ok? I have found all NZ news servers are
basically crap for retention and binaries, even though ABPW is a pretty low
volume group.
Have a look on (eg) www.newscene.com or google groups to see the headers of
what has been posted.
I use Easynews for binaries. i used to use Newscene, but easynews is
cheaper, faster and allows multiple server connections. now if we could
only get broadband in New Zealand.
