This CFV thang..
 
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.

Perhaps if you create a new email message, and cut and paste into it?

I presume you send via an ISP SMTP server, for onward delivery - is it this

You didn't send from the loopback one, did you? Mine got through and

Both of mine reached base, one ballot paper fell into a hole on the way

See below. The votetaker is not prepared to discuss in public any

There shouldn't be. Chapter and verse please and I can pass it to the

No it worked o.k. for some of us. Perhaps you are in his kill file?


There are no killfiles on vote requests (or to the votetaker's query
address/internal addresses for the vote).


If anyone has a problem then send an email (*please* do use an email
address unmunged and one that will reach you when a reply is sent) to
the Votetaker's query address for this vote:

as was indicated in the CFV.

Pedt,

Always useful to know ;-)

Xpost to moderated,unmoderated[,unmoderated] then your post goes by
email to the moderator(s) of the moderated group. If they accept it
then your post appears in all groups. If not accepted then it doesn't
appear anywhere.

Does that mean that if you add a moderated NG to a troll thread that all

Only if they continue the xpost in reply to your article and your
original article was accepted by the moderator so that it can be
replied to. You'd very likely have a ****ed off moderator as well
so I wouldn't recommend it as a means of combating trolls.

This CFV thang..
 
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...

If anyone has a problem then send an email (*please* do use an email
address unmunged and one that will reach you when a reply is sent) to
the Votetaker's query address for this vote:
as was indicated in the CFV.

Sigh.

The votetaker cannot respond to queries that have a return address that
resolves to 127.0.0.1 (localhost).

I suspect confusion at the network configuration end.
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?

Ask Pedt, the vote taker (??), what to do he has posted here in the
last few days.
