After posting a message, it tells you that it will take a
couple of minutes for you message to be posted...Here it
is at 9:19 pm and the last post was at 1:15, 9 hours
ago??? This program is not too bad, but the message
board is very SLOW...it has been close to 15 minutes and
my original post is not there.

Stop using the Microsoft CDO webnews-for-dummies interface. Use a
newsreader instead, like Outlook Express, Forte Agent, Xnews, or another
one. Use the following for the NNTP server to define an account in your
newsreader program:

NNTP Server: privatenews.microsoft.com
Account name: privatenews\spyware
Password: spyware

You'll find some of the other groups are more active than this one.
