Looks like the only recent posts from critter other than yours
are the ones that are automatically posted at regular intervals.
Some people post from eternal-september.org, and I use aioe.org.

I posted it directly to critter though, where wanderer's post
originated. Your post and Bill Marcum's Aren't showing up there, And I
can't see Wanderer's post here.
I'm just messing with him a little before I relay the appropriate info.

Test posting through mixmin to see if it works for me.

I know. Those were for Wanderer's benefit since he says he can read from
mixmin but not post.
I still don't see how you yourself can be responding to critter but
having the posts show up only on outside servers, unless your reading a
one-way leaked feed or something.
There are still servers that offer free peering. It only took me a
minute to find some on google.

I watched the documentary, *Living with the Wolfman*, on Animal Planet. It
was interesting, if slightly heartbreaking when the pack reminded him that
Alpha isn't a part-time position.

Both newsgroups work fine here with Astranews.. Currently using Unison
for posting/reading though.
