Start by telling me how you posted from a 192,0,0,0 network?
Drop Google and tune out?

Interesting. Is Google now anonymizing the posting IP of it's users?
When did that start?
Just try to follow correct usenet posting style when you post replies.
As I am doing now, compose your replies by quoting only the relavent
portions of previous posts, use in-line quoting as necessary, and always
bottom-post (not top-post).
Do not be a top-poaster or full-quoter.
As for what you can expect, there really isin't a lot of traffic in this
newsgroup, and even less currently seeing as it's now winter in the
northern hemisphere of this planet.

You're as clueless about Usenet as you are about lawns.
*Always* doing either is wrong.

Unless what you have to say is relevant to the full quoted text.

No it isn't. Fool.

No!! The posting IP is from "non-routable IP addresses", best I can
tell.
I was thinking spammer or similar.

In crafting the header, Google has substituted one of it's own internal
LAN address's in place of the poster's real, external IP address.
Just as it always has done for out-bound gmail email.

Arg. Yes, you're right.
I looked at the 192.203 ip address and assumed it was a non-routable
internal LAN address.
And what a stinking hot summer we're into! No decent rain here in SE
Queensland (+2 hours drive North of Brisbane) since June. Buying water for
our rainwater tanks and the gardens are dead because the dam is dry!

Sorry to hear it.
If I lived on the west coast of the US, I would have visited my cousins
in Oz.
Not my real cousins, but my GB cousins.
It looks better than ever to go visit.
