Geez did we finally get this stupid bug fixed so we can stop pestering people using the newsgroups?

Sorry for putting up improperly formatted posts folks, had a bug in our reply code that went unnoticed for awhile. Shouldn't be an issue going forward.

Why are you not using the testing newsgroup for this?

Well, the original test message that is not his announcement/apology ;-)

Gordon is right, no one would have seen it :) You are right as well,
should have included the meaning for the test post in the initial post. :)

Feel bad about pestering people with nonsense posts.

Any posting from "DumbHeadCafe" will bug many of the people in the newsgroups.
I'm one of them.

Nonsense. YOU could have seen it simply by checking with a real newsreader,
instead of letting thousands of other people be your guinea pigs.

Sorry for the inconvenience Brian. Apparently changes were
made to our code that didn't get tested. That is certainly on me.
No doubt. So, I thought a public apology was in order.

As for others posting to the group from our site, this
is just every day people who find news group conversations via
search and are either offering solutions to problems or asking
questions because they need help.

It is not uncommon for corporate networks to block nttp. So,
our site offers these folks an alternative during work hours. All
posts you see submitted from our site should now have the previous
post included (just in case the old thread was archived) along
with pertinent details. Anything else is somebody submitting
the same crap they could have done by logging onto the newsgroup
themselves.

Anyway, sorry to have caused you so much irritation.

Take care, Robbe

Don't get me wrong. That part I appreciate.

What I don't find valuable is the lack of quoting in the replies. Your HTTP
to NNTP gateway does a poor job of emulating a newsreader and often (up until
now, at least) posts replies to threads as new threads and neglects to allow
inclusion of prior portions of messages to which people reply so that context
is lost. That's what I find irritating.

All posts from eggheadcafe should now include the previous post,
date of post, and who it was from. Our old code really underestimated
the number of people who would reply to very, very old threads.

Keep up the good work helping people out with Outlook issues. Maybe
I'll see ya at the summit in February.

Take care, Robbe
