"Jaques d'Alltrades" wrote in message ... The message from "Franz Heymann" contains these words: Something is wrong somewhere. I sent an ordinary e-mail to ask for voting papers 2 days ago. The letrter seems to have gone, but I have not heard anything since. And why do I still see nothing about a CFV in either uk.net.news.config, nor in uk.net.news.announce? I suspect your ISP... I suspect confusion at the network configuration end. I would definitely suspect your ISP's news server. You might find NIN, the free German server, useful. See http://news.individual.net I also still have the destructions to sign up to the free news server I am currently using I complained and repeated my request for voting papers. I received them within half an hour. I filled them in and sent them off. (If you are curious, I voted NO) I received no acknowledgement of receipt of the voting papers. Instead, I received another set of voting papers after 12 hours. Do I fill in the second lot, thereby possibly spoiling my vote by attempting to vote twice? The proper course of action is to email the votetaker on the specific address given - - which was in the CFV and I have separately noted in u.r.g As I said in the other thread, votes are checked manually and are not on the end of an autoresponder & the votetaker will acknowledge a vote within 5 days as the CFV states. As it happens, I shall be checking votes again in a short while so you can expect email. FWIW, if the Ballot ID is identical on both the original from the UKV server and my email to yourself then you would not spoil your vote, the later vote would merely supersede the earlier vote. One of the reasons for issuing Ballot IDs is that you can use the same ID to change your vote. If the IDs are different then voting again would spoil your vote. -- Pedt |

There's an address to e-mail for such queries. Indeed & the votetaker doesn't bite if it is used for a query. I only ask that I can reply to the email (comment not aimed at Franz, I have one query outstanding where the domain part resolves to 127.0.0.1 localhost which precludes replying). The net is doing some very strange things ATM: a lot of my posts don't seem to be appearing. Email is, I think, worst hit at the moment. The number of copies of Netsky.B I get to one of my domains is verging on the ridiculous. -- Pedt |

Do I fill in the second lot, thereby possibly spoiling my vote by attempting to vote twice? Ask Pedt, the vote taker (??), what to do he has posted here in the last few days. With a bit of luck he will see this. But I will contact him anyway after a day or so. I don't want to stir the water before the mud has settled. Franz |

The message
from martin contains these words: The net is doing some very strange things ATM: a lot of my posts don't seem to be appearing. There is nothing obviously not arriving at this end. I think I see all your postings here, there are no obvious gaps in your stream of subliminal subconsciousness :-) OTOH, a post I wrote a week ago turned up in another place, answers have appeared to posts I made, but have not appeared in my downloads, (This is almost certainly down to Zetnet, as a copy should go straight to packer) and answers are appearing to posts by other people - posts which I haven't seen. Others are mentioning non-arrival of posts. (Germoline, IIRC) -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |
