It appears from checking virgin media's virginmedia.support.usenet,
that there may be a problem with their farmed-out 'Highwinds' server,
which is not reliably posting messages to uk.d-i-y.

I've changed to their Liverpool based text.news... server, which I
am told is more reliable, and hope that will cure the problem for
future threads, but that leaves me with a backlog of sent messages
that didn't get through, which I now don't know how to resend so that
they end up in the right places in the various threads.

Have others here been having problems like this?

(Assuming I can now engage in a proper too and fro... fingers
crossed!)

I too have been having the same problem with VigrnMedia and have moved on to
the text server route since when I don't think I've had a problem.
