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

Dave R

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

No, it won't be posted. The reply should be mailed to you automatically.
I hope you used a valid address to reply?

You then snip the bits where instructed, fill in the voting slip, and
e-mail it back to the vote-taker.

No. True, one of the replies to my mail did fall in a hole somewhere,
but a replacement was sent as soon as I e-mailed Pedt. You'll find his
official address on the CFV.

Jaques, mon cher ami...

Total misunderstanding.

I posted a reply to the NG - in fact the reply should have been cross posted
to the three NGs listed in the original post.

These were shown in the BG response I posted.

However the posted response has not appeared in uk.rec.gardening nor in
uk.net.news.config.

As I stated in the OP, I have voted. (Just got the confirmation back).

I was puzzled over the failure of my post to appear.

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 :-(
