They're visible to me. Usenet is like that. I could explain in a
fair
amount of detail, but I doubt that you are interested in the minutiae.
Don't think of it as being like mailing lists - it isn't. Messages
get through erratically, often out of sequence, and occasionally get
completelt lost or ar repeated months later. And not all readers
will see all messages.

Thanks Nick. That helps a lot as I was quite confused as to what was
