Hi

I keep missing the OP in a thread and some complete threads - although I
can see them online.

I'm using OE6 - would that be it? Would I be better off using Firefox to
read NG's?


Sounds like it is your ISP's news server.
Mine does this from time to time.
I switched to http://news.datemas.de/ and haven't missed a post yet and its
free.
