I posted a message entitled "Beware of Yale Mortice Locks" yesterday evening. It is now no longer available.
Has something gone wrong? or was it removed because it broke some rule of this group. I know it was factual and therefore cannot be libelous. I thought it was on topic, relevant and likely to be of interest to members of the group.
This is a very useful group and I don't want to cause any problems, I would just like to be clear about how it works.
TIA
Steve
This group is not moderated,,ask someone in the family or friends did they recieve an email. :-( lol
I don't think there's a moderator but try re-posting, I'd like to see it.

The reason it's not visible is that you posted it as a reply in the thread "Lost keys - need to change cylinder?" rather than a new thread. Look in there and you should see it.

1/. There is no moderator.
2/. If you saw it yesterday, you downloaded it yourself, unless you are using a web interface to e.g. google groups, which your headers say you are not. Ergo you have probably got your newsreader set to 'ignore read posts' or 'delete posts over 12 hours old'
I can still see it on the Gradwell news server Message-ID:
I think this news.blueyonder.co.uk may be the cause of the problem Check Google groups.
Wasn't the ISP, as stated he replied to a thread with changed subject.
If you're looking with Google Groups, it has got subsumed into the "Lost keys..." thread where you posted it as a follow-on, but it's still there. I can't remember whether this always happens, but, they've just made some changes (every post appears with a blank grey area at the top), so who knows?

The message from Steve contains these words:
It's still on the Blueyonder server.
As for moderators - there isn't one - this is a free open usenet group. Anyone can post anything and there's nothing anyone can do about it.
That's news client dependant. My settings in Agent started a new thread as the subject changed.
As you say, the group is not moderated.

If that's the one it got out OK but Blueyonders inability to understand newsgroups is legendary, if something has gone wrong they must be the first suspect.

You might consider changing your newsserver to
Yeah that's right. Bumface.

The message from "Mungo \"Two Sheds\" Toadfoot" contains these words:
Well, it's an improvement on pizzaface which I was lumbered with as a spotty yoof - and again briefly when I had chickenpox in my 30s.
I saw that message today. A useful bit of info. Thanks.
Sylvain.
Yes, I can see it in there, with a few replies, including my own!
Christian.
Did I mention that the bum in question is, in fact, extraordinarily spotty?
Si
Takes one to know one nyer nyer!
Thanks for all of the replies. I'm happy to hear that I wasn't being censored.
There is something odd going on though. I knew that I had posted it in reply to another thread, so I knew where to look for it. Although the header was there, the body of my message was not. The weird thing is that it is there now, but my "question for moderator" post is not visible at all, although the replies are.
I've checked all of the settings I can think of and can't see anything wrong. I'm using Blueyonder newsgroups through Mozilla Firefox.
Any suggestions?
Steve
One of my sons is known as Pizza by those who knew him when he had a nasty burning accident at 13 and his inner thighs were badly scarred and he had plastic surgery - all free thanks to the good old NHS ;-)
