around Jan. 5 (?) of 2023 ... i started having problems ( trying to post from Groups.Google.com)

(at first, (some days) i couldn't post anything at all )


For the past 2 (?) weeks ... i can respond to an existing post (like i'm doing now)

but i can't start a new Thread. --- i get this same Error-Msg : [ Error posting message. X ]



Thousands of ppl must be having the same problem, no ?

How many different newsgroups are you going to post this to? How exactly
were you using alpine as a newsreader to post to Google Groups?

Only the "thousands" of people that use google groups.

And far too many times they reply to ancient messages -- like
your reply to a October 2, 1996 posting.

The folks that use real newsreaders to post and read on usenet
are having no such problems.

It stands for a newsreader/email client developed by the Univ of
Washington and released as an opensource package. It was originally
called pine.

Kids, this is just a sockpuppet that's been trolling by posting
difficult to read nonsense with lots of whitespace in several newsgroups.

did PINE originally stand for [Pine is not Elm] ?

i think i've used both Pine and Elm, and maybe one more (with a similar name).

It's no trouble at all. You posted quoted-printable encoding which has
never been necessary on Usenet. I am under no obligattion to you to
decode it. As it bothers you, then don't encode it to begin with.

You can make up any expansion of the word you want. According to that
Web page ( did you read it?) it says Alpine stands for either
Alternatively Licensed Program for Internet News and Email
or
Apache Licensed Program for Internet News and Email
