That is how usenet posts are threaded - when you crosspost,
dig up old posts, and change subject lines in the middle of a
conversation - (and use web interfaces?) things might get a
little confused.
If you have a new subject - start a new thread rather than
hijacking an old or current (different subject) thread. In fact
even if your subject is the same as the subject of the thread
the conversation may have drifted to the point that others
have chosen to ignore the entire thread - starting a new one
is the best option. This is not a web forum in the traditional
sense where you would be asked to post within a preexisting
topic structure laid out by the webmaster.
Also, replying to a post from months ago probably won't help
the person that made that post because that person has probably
moved on by then (there is no webmaster to declare a subject
as "dead" or "resolved" or whatever).

Hi Richard. You've no doubt noticed that when I post using Outlook Express, I'm using ~BD~ an my
'nickname'. When checking on *my* PC at the 4th in this thread, I see "References:
<OdCCegf3...@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl>". (Same as you in the first line of References)
When posting from Google Groups I use BoaterDave. On checking here, in OE, the 3rd post *all* the
References are showing in the Properties just as you have indicated.
Puzzled, I looked again at the Properties box for the post *from* OE. Then I noticed ... Doh! There
are *scroll* bars! So I copied and pasted everything I could under References: and pasted it into
Notepad (word wrap). This was the result:
References: <OdCCegf3...@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl> <Ok#FDu$4HHA...@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl>

As far as I can tell- it is EXACTLY the same information as shown in the header from google.!!!!
Hopefully then ............. Your question "... ~BD~ 's security has been compromised ?" has been
answered in the negative (but one never knows! <wink!>
No doubt there are complicated technical reasons for showing things in a different format, but I
suspect I don't really need to know! (or do I?!!)

All your points noted and much appreciated FTR. Thank you.
You will recall this link which I posted for those very reasons:
http://ms-os.com/virus-information/90006-the-newbies-dilemma.html
What I had hoped was that Dan, or someone like yourself, would take the time to read, and comment
maybe on all that had gone before ......... and is now but a muddle in my head! There's a clue in
there somewhere though!
I have a mission - and was/am looking for help and/or guidance.
Additionally, it might just help others if they read the original thread. I do hope so anyway.

Anyone else know how long Microsoft leaves these messages on its' servers?

It may be there until the space it occupies is needed
for another message - that is the newest in pushes the
oldest out. If that is the way they have it set up, then
your question cannot be answered quantitatively.
Thanks for your comment, FTR. However, you speculate! <wink>
Does anyone *know* the answer? Simply curious is all.

I won't participate in web forums even if they're not
really forums but only usenet web interfaces.

I would have if it had been convenient for me to do so.

It's hard to know who to trust, and you shouldn't base
trust on the alphabet soup in someones signature block.
You get a feel for who to trust after taking the time to
read various posts.
...and even this is no guarantee

Information is a good thing! :o)
Different group, years ago, but maybe some insight for you.

An interesting read. It also reminded me of the word 'Binaries' - an expression which I simply could
not recall when making a post recently! :)
