Blank posts today?

[Harry Bloomfield, Esq.]

I'm seeing an awful lot of blank post today, just a subject line Re. whatever and no body.

Are they blank or is it an hiccup in the server?

No idea why. Ctrl-U (view message source) has usually been completely blank when this happens, but the headers are all there - only the message body is blank. We are using different newsreaders, so it can't be that.

I am seeing lots of expired articles... perhaps there is a cancelbot at work on some of our less welcome guests?

[Chris Hogg]

Not seen any. Perhaps they're filtered by NIN. I see you use ES - maybe they don't filter.

[Jeff Layman]

That was a blank post for me.

[R D S]

Both posts blank from here....

[Bill Wright]

I'm not seeing any and I don't use a kill file, so it must be some hiccup with your server or usenet client.

[ZakJames]

Unlikely given that I don't see any on news.individual.net

other than that I haven't seen any other blanks, but then a lot of messages are hitting the KF these days

There are several here reporting blank posts with different newsreader clients. I've just checked these blank posts on the Albasani news server (I use Eternal September most of the time), and they are blank there too.

Very strange.

Also blanks on Google.

[ZakJames]

Yeah, that became clear later.

List some headers, I can't use either server. I will see if those post are on nin and that will show if nin is deleting those.

Yeah, unusual that its seen on more than one server.

Whats needed is blank posts so we can see if the problem is that some servers are losing the body of some posts or if some servers like nin are dropping blank posts. Likely the second isnt happening because someone, Clive ? did post \a couple which showed up on nin fine but his blank posts may be different header wise to the ones which never showed up on nin.

[Harry Bloomfield, Esq.]

..and blank here too.

[Harry Bloomfield, Esq.]

Another blank one.

There is nothing special about 2.4 to 2.5 GHz except that it is a frequency band permitted for this purpose. It is EXACTLY the same band used for WiFi (although WiFi is also allowed to use the 5-6GHz band as well. Lower frequencies would penetrate food better but the magnetrons would be larger and much more expensive. Solid state power amplifiers may soon be economic for food heating and would allow for a wider range of frequencies if the regulators allow it.

Looks to me as though that's a Google Groups reply. Note, however, that Harry uses Google Groups and he couldn't see the message body either.

The headers of some of the BLANK posts other than the two Clive posted after your original that said you were seeing a lot of them.
