This post is a sort of test.
I haven't seen any posts for a few days now.

From investigations by various ppl (i.e. Raven), it would appear that
there are two ozemail.users groups. One is ozemail-only, and one is
everyone-except-ozemail-only.

We can see the non-ozemail one, they can see the ozemail one. Ergo,
we can see our own posts, not theirs, and vice versa

Remarkably friendly of ozemail, to provide a meeting place for other ISP customers.What's the point?

No point.

They're just so damned incompetent that their attempt at forcing
oz.users to return to ozemail-only status resulted in the forging of
two newsgroups =)

Then again that could be just normal performance on the part of the OzEmail

An undocumented feature :p
