Hi,
Why is that? The last post dates from dec. 30th 2009!
I just answered a question and posted a new one and they are not displayed.
What is the problem? Is that the american version of the 2010 bug?
Thanks.

Please read up on what usenet (newsgroups) are, and are not:
http://www.ou.edu/research/electron/internet/use-faq.htm

Your local usenet server has a small selection of recent posts.
How much it keeps, what it presents to you etc is up to *THAT* server,
and that server alone. I'm seeing some traffic on this newsgroup, but
not a lot. I recommend you use http://groups.google.com/ to see what
Google's view of these newsgroups are, and if it differs significantly
from your view, then bug *your* local usenet administrator, or change
your news server.

Simply shouting into the wind for things to change doesn't work
with usenet. There's no one person in charge. You'll need to spend the
time and energy to research the problem, and talk to the specific
individuals who manage your view of the service. That's more work than
just throwing out a gripe post and expecting the world to be at your
beck and call. Sorry.

Hi Nathan,
I know very well what a newsgroup is. I've been using them for years. In
many of them, I found professional help in the blink of an eye. In this one,
quite the contrary. I am not complaining. Just noticing.
Have a good day.
