Just want to test the effects of different newsreaders.
Just reply to this message with a line of text the includes your nic and
your news client.
Hopefully we'll see a pattern of what works properly and what doesn't

We already know what doesn't work because these tests have been run here
before, inspired by Mark. It's a google groups message replied to with OE.

Andrew

Thanks. GoogleGroups here.

I was not part of that previous conversation. Must have been on a
rugby sabbatical.  Mine starts tomorrow tonight (a day after after the
BaaBaas game) Of course when SA cricket hit Aus I log on their to put
up with alvey et al.

So its a combo of GoggleGroups and OE that causes the thread to go
tits up?
Did anyone manage to diagnose why this is so?

If GG relies to OE is it all OK?

If so I find OE guilty and sentence those using it to move to
something else.

Seriously GG is a necessity because many people at work cannot get to
NNTP. The alternative is to live with the problem or for either the OE
or the GG users to abstain.
Its easy for the OE guys to download Thunderbird whilst it is
impossible for the GG guys to move.
So OE out?? All those in favour

What did you do before googlegroups.

Answer -> I did not go onto usenet whilst at work
That is a bonus for some people but for me it is a non-starter

You are not giving us alternatives. NNTP is not an option for some of
us.

Why should anyone give you alternatives? Your company seems to want to
limit you. I suggest asking your admin nicely to give you access.

Well I am not the one whining about Google Groups. Some other
Microsoft Loving OE users are.
If I could use NNTP I would not use OE.

I am whining about GG. Because OE express users reply and *** up
threads. Yes we can all be "grown up" and "turn a blind eye". But ***
that - standard quoting is there for a reason. And using GG fucks it up.

If someone wants me to stop using GG then suggest an alternative.
Otherwise whiners, stop using OE.

Or killfile you and the threads you post in.
