Read the OP's post. He can post to some groups but not others. Posting to
a test group would not help in rectifying this or identifying the problem.

Thanks.

In fact my "experiments" so far (mostly in uk.comp.home-networking)
have shown a quasi-random pattern: sometimes long articles don't get
posted (and sometimes they do), and sometime short ones don't get
posted (and sometimes they do), and this quasi-random pattern can
occur in any newsgroup.

(Knowing this, now, I will confine future "experiments" to a *.test
newsgroup. Except to see if I can post this! ... first attempt was
a failure, trying again ...)
