I have been watching 'uk.net.news.config' for the CFV but it only arrived
very recently, along with another 3,000 posts.

There is now a long thread in 'uk.rec.gardening' in response, but none
shown
in 'uk.net.news.config'.

I replied to the CFV - which should have cross posted the reply to the 3
NG
in the original posting - but this reply seems to have disappeared.

Does the line "Followup-To: poster" do strange things?

My post in reply seems destined for the NGs - but then I am using OE which
may do non-standard things :-(

TIA
