With most newsreaders' default settings you won't see a new post of your
own until you leave the groups and come back again. If you have a read
limit (often like 500) then by the time you come back you may miss your
post as the download limit is too small. If you are using the awful
interface for the Microsoft groups directly anything can happen

Sorry for this but for some reason I am now blocked from posting in these
groups. Nothing I post or reply to ever shows up. Very frustrating!!!

Yeah, you're right. Nothing you post is showing up.

How can we respond if you can't see it?

If you see this message, having noted you are using Windows Mail, go to
view, Current View and change the setting to "Show Replies to My Messages"
and you're recent messages and replies will show up.

Also, go to Tools, select options, place a check next to "Automatically
expand grouped messages." That will you will see entire threads at one,
both the original messages and all responses.

You're not blocked. You've got something set wrong in Windows Mail.
Maybe you need to download more headers or something. I don't use
Windows Mail or OE so I can't give you a specific place to look, but see
these links for setting up newsgroups with OE. Windows Mail will be similar.

I think it has something to do with global warming. Make sure to HIT the
Hibernate button on your PC, then throw it in the bathtub.

Just FYI

Well, it's not just you. While not all my messages are getting blocked I
did have problems with one message (and apparently you are having some luck
too). I have a post I tried to send 2 days ago and it has yet to appear
in the groups, and I've sent it 6 or 7 times so far. What's weird, is that
I've sent a dozen other messages and they've all appeared promptly. I can't
figure out for the life of my why it would happen. There's nothing rude,
vulgar, offensive or spam like in the message so there's no reason for it to
get blocked (judging from the other crap I've seen this doesn't seem like a
likely scenario anyways). I've even tried from a different client. I did
try sending from a "third-party" usenet server and the message did appear on
their server but it didn't replicate to MS's Usenet server (not sure if
that's how things should work though). Very puzzling.

Have you been using foul language? Posts containing offensive words get
deleted from the msnews.microsoft.com server, but will remain on any other
newsserver that you may post from. Maybe you should refrain from such such
unsavoury behaviour.
