Question for Moderator
I posted a message entitled "Beware of Yale Mortice Locks" yesterday
evening. It is now no longer available. Has something gone wrong? or was it removed because it broke some rule of this group. I know it was factual and therefore cannot be libelous. I thought it was on topic, relevant and likely to be of interest to members of the group. This is a very useful group and I don't want to cause any problems, I would just like to be clear about how it works. TIA Steve |

I posted a message entitled "Beware of Yale Mortice Locks" yesterday evening. It is now no longer available. The reason it's not visible is that you posted it as a reply in the thread "Lost keys - need to change cylinder?" rather than a new thread. Look in there and you should see it. Alex |

If you saw it yesterday, you downloaded it yourself, unless you are using a web interface to e.g. google groups, which your headers say you are not. Ergo you have probably got your newsreader set to 'ignore read posts' or 'delete posts over 12 hours old' 3. Its possible that your ISP has a very severe refuse problem and is deleting old posts rapidly,but I doubt it. |

If you're looking with Google Groups, it has got subsumed into the "Lost keys..." thread where you posted it as a follow-on, but it's still there. I can't remember whether this always happens, but, they've just made some changes (every post appears with a blank grey area at the top), so who knows? Chris |

Thanks for all of the replies. I'm happy to hear that I wasn't being
censored. There is something odd going on though. I knew that I had posted it in reply to another thread, so I knew where to look for it. Although the header was there, the body of my message was not. The weird thing is that it is there now, but my "question for moderator" post is not visible at all, although the replies are. I've checked all of the settings I can think of and can't see anything wrong. I'm using Blueyonder newsgroups through Mozilla Firefox. Any suggestions? Steve |
