The Missing Posts Mysteries

[Pecos]

There are two articles at my website that I have written based on
experiences trying to post to this very group using Outlook and MS Mail. If
you are using Outlook, Outlook Express or MS Mail to post to a Microsoft
newsgroup or any USENET newsgroup in general, you might want to spend a few
minutes reading these articles.

Article #1 for Outlook, Outlook Express and MS Mail users:

The Missing Post Mystery
http://www.mindspring.com/~anorton1/Post_Mystery.html

A post I made to a Vista newsgroup was missing from the Outlook newsreader.
Where did it go? The article describes how headers are downloaded in the
Microsoft mail/newsreader program and how that behavior can lead to missing
messages in the newsgroup lists. I give a workaround and an alternate
choice of a free newsreader, XNews. I also offer some help getting started
with XNews.

Article #2 for Vista MS Mail users only posting to/using 'Microsoft
Communities':

The Missing Post Mystery Revisited
http://www.mindspring.com/~anorton1/Post_Mystery_Revisited.html

It happened again! A post I made to a Vista newsgroup was missing from the
Vista Mail newsreader. Where did it go? There appears to be some issues
with what Microsoft calls its 'Microsoft Communities'. Messages sent using
Vista's MS Mail and logging in to Microsoft Communities may not appear on
the server for hours or even days.

Ah brother, you saw the light.

The words Microsoft and server go together like oil and water. How bad
are Microsoft servers? Well consider my experience from many years
back. Some guys at Microsoft came up with something called comic chat
or some such name, I forget. It was a cute idea where anyone could log
on to one of several Microsoft servers and chat. Unlike a traditional
chart room your responses and those of others was seen as a never
ending comic strip where you could pick the character you wanted to
be. You could pick a ready made character or make your own. These
characters could express emotion by selectons you made prior to
posting you comments. It was a riot and a lot of fun. What happened?
It got too popular too quick and you and everyone else would get
bounced off the server maybe 15-20 times a hour due to overload. That
is how reliable Microsoft servers use to be. I doubt they're any
better now.

You doubt? I don't thinks so. You're nothing but a friggin loser.
MS turned you down for employment didn't' they. You didn't cut it.
Now you're just a like a disgruntled employee.
Well wannabe, you still don't get it do you.
Get lost mr. nobody.

adam was joking right? His opinion was based on a specific chat service?
Many years ago? Getting bounced from a server could have been a bandwidth
issue and nothing to do with the server.

Hum....adam claims to be a super computer tech guy yet his MS server quality
claim is based on a comic chat service and nothing else? Plus his
conclusion is completely bogus.

"Well consider my experience from many years back"
His experience doesn't seem to add up to much and there's usually nothing to
consider.

Not to mention the fact that the comic chat servers actually ran off of a
unix system, not off of a Windows Server system.

So basically he would be stating that a unix driven website had issues and
windows is to blame.


He makes a ton of sense doesn't he?
