You'll have to look in cam.misc for your reply, the OP set followups
there for some reason.

It seems to only not work if I reply to original OP because it works
with a later poster. ???

"Why is my crosspost not accepted?

Cross posting heated discussions from a high-traffic group to a
low-traffic group can destroy the smaller group, especially if the
discussion is off-topic there. One reason for the severity of cross post
floodding is that only few users ever check the adequacy of the group
list in their reply. For that reason Albasani is configured to require a
Followup-To: with some cross posts. This a suggestion in which group the
thread should continue.

Unfortunately Outlook Express hides this feature in an obscure menu
item. See How to set a Followup-To with Outlook Express

Affected groups

The restriction applies to group names matching at least one of the
following words.

This means that I cant post acceptably to a spectrum of - say -
uk.d-i-y, cam.misc (for localish interest) and the sorts of posts that
appear in uk.d-i-y X posted to places like alt.computer.hardware etc etc
don't work properly either.

Is probably time to find a better news feed.

Did not see that just replied as usual,he caused me to send Ferret a few
times and people on the other group would be wondering what th I was up to.
Why would any one not want uk.d-i-y folk to see follow ups to their
question. I notice another poster made follow ups to his follow up to
uk.diy only would that be a quiet protest?

Turnpike would not post to cam.misc only. Presumably because it is not
selected in my news list. The message simply stayed in the outbox.

When someone mentioned the follow up setting I stripped out cam.misc
rather than just adding uk.d-i-y, nothing sinister intended:-)

That answers the question why only some of my replies got through then, who
would do such a silly thing?

its all too much. I personally feel that if something incorrectly gets to a
group not intended its as annoying as it flooding another group. after all
one does not have to read all posts, not even in outlook express.

Very Interesting.

I do hope newsgroups survive, possibly one of the oldest part of the

The group comp.lang.c was subject to an attack like this at one point
- I believe they called it a "splashback" attack. Someone who didn't
like the group posted lots of plausible questions in other groups,
with followups set only to comp.lang.c, which consequently filled up
with lots of well-meaning answers to irrelevant questions.

Which, for no good reason, reminds me that Dennis Ritchie died over the
weekend. I was the world's worst programmer, but one of the few things
that I did (eventually) understand was C.
