HELP?

[msnews.microsoft.com]

I posted a message under this same user name (AA Smith) on this newsgroup
from another computer on this network. However, that computer is now unable
to get online, so I tried to view my message & its responses, if any, on
this computer. However, even though I know that my message actually posted
(because it appeared in this message board on the other computer before it
lost its internet connection) it WILL NOT appear in this message board so
that I can view it and its responses on this computer.

How can I get that message to appear in the newsgroup on this computer?

I shall very much appreciate your kind and generous help on this.

With kindest regards,

Dick Smith

You need to collect =a lot= of headers. Over and over (this NG gets
about 1000 a day, so until you have collected 1000, you won't see
anything from yesterday).

Or, the easy way, groups.google.com, enter your subject/name, and it'll
find the thread in a flash.
