Yes you are. But if you think you're not, it's because you're using the
awful web interface. See below for the explanation:

Since you are using the web interface, you may not realize that this is
really a newsgroup. You will get far more out of this resource if you learn
to use a newsreader. There are many good newsreaders for Windows, but you
can use Outlook Express (XP) or Windows Mail (Vista) since you already have
it. Here are some links to information about newsgroups:

Thats what Malke means by "horrible web interface". If you used
outlook express, you might have less issues.
