I posted a question I thought in the Networking and the Web, but I can't find
it.
I must have posted it on another group. What this community needs is a way
to pull up your posted questions and comments, no matter what group they are
in. Maybe some MVP deleted it I have no idea cause I can't find it.

I'm sorry you are "sorely distressed" but no one - especially not an MVP
(thanks for the insult - good way to get help from us - not) - removed
your post.

You are having difficulties in finding your posts because you are using
the web interface, which is awful. Instead, use a newsreader which is
very easy to set up. Here is information to help you:

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 since you already have it. Here are
some links to information about newsgroups:

Once you set up a newsreader, handling the world of Usenet will be easy,
productive, and far more enjoyable.

I would say that the responsibility to keep track of your own posts lies
with you.

OTOH, I've never used the web interface, so I have no idea how bad it
is.

Here are all of your posts, as reported by Google:

http://groups.google.com/groups?q="...xd=5&as_maxm=6&as_maxy=2006&safe=off&filter=0

Because I have an idea you might not be able to cope with a broken link,
here is one that will work if the above does not:

MVPs aren't moderators, and they do not delete posts. But why you would
leap from your inability to find your post to the conclusion that it was
deleted is beyond me.

I never meant to offend anyone especially you Malke, or any of the MVP's who
answer the questions of the uninformed. After this post I will use the
Outlook Express Newsreader instead of the web interface. Please, Everyone,
accept my sincere apologies.
 
Thank you for your post. I want to apologize to you also and anyone who took
offense
at my statement/question. I hope you will accept it. Thanx for reply
