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.

So is there some strange thing about replying to CFVs, or is Usenet banjaxed
at the moment?

Cheers

P.S. I have managed to vote - awaiting confirmation
