I think I've got a problem. The only unread messages that are downloading
are ones I've sent myself. I can't believe that nobody has posted anything
in the last five hours!

Try 24hoursupport.helpdesk. Lots of helpful people at that newsgroup.

Derrick's not bothered with newsgroups and can't offhand make any useful
suggestions. Could somebody who knows about these things help me out?
What have I done wrong?

Call customer support.
It's probably your server.

In the meantime, you can get caught up by using Google groups.

Just in the past week or so, I have had posts that do not show up on
newsgroups.

It may have something to do with the Usegroup system, or maybe even hackers
messing with the NSA usenet-monitoring programs (we can only hope :-) )

Be patriotic and accept that some of your more potentially subversive posts
will not make it, a small sacrifice for the security of this great nation.
It is well known that food newsgroups often have secret recipes for
bombes, and subversive food-people giving out "bad" recipes are a real and
known threat to this great nation's food supply. (Unlike watching certain
leader-groups bumble about, bumbling that makes said food merely hard to
keep down.)

Goodness, hadn't thought of that? Are the spooks going to break down my
door if I request a recipe for Bombe Alaska?

It's OK now, I've just got 700 odd posts to wade through!

Now you've done it. You've used the b___ word.

(However, I wouldn't worry too much. NSA is as screwed up as most
bureaucracies, if not more. Like they say in intel - since they really don't
know what is in the woods they're watching, they can never know if they
found half the animals or not. And, "mystery is perfection".
Besides - Like any terrorist worth his salt is going to even use the b___
word in his electronic communications....)
