Problem with Google Groups; mine or theirs?

[joeu2004]

When I look at the summary for this Google Group, I see that the
thread "using excel to analyze time series data" has 7 articles. See
the link http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.excel/browse_frm/thread/aa758d5afeb3a5e5#
..

But when I open the thread, I see only 5 articles.

Earlier, I had seen an article that no longer appears. I think that
rules out any filtering that GG might do.

Arguably, that article might have been removed by the GG user, if he
was in fact a GG user.

But the summary still had counted the missing article. In fact, the
name of that user appeared in the summary (ordered by last message),
since that was the last article in the thread at the time. (I have
since forgotten the name.)

Does anyone else have this problem when using GG?

(If you do not use GG, you may or may not see the problem, depending
on the root cause. Your news server might have its own archive
(mirror) of posted articles.)

Of course, I might not be able to see your response because of this
very problem.

I meant say.... Please send responses to joeu2004 "at" hotmail.com.

joeu2004,

I do not see the problem, and I do not use Google Groups.

I use Forte Agent, and my news server is news.localnet.com (Localnet
is a dial-up ISP I maintain for when my broadband goes down; and it
includes a free newsgroup server).

In a collapsed view, Agent shows a +6 next to the original message,
which means there are six (6) replies giving a total of 7 messages;
and there are, indeed, seven total messages.

At the time of this writing, OE with news.eternal-september.org as news
server shows 8 messages in the thread.
