Quite possibly replies to posts so old that your News Reader has discarded
them long ago. Using a News Reader which doesn't quote the old posts.

Could also be from a poster in your kill file.

I can't help you re the answer but I'm also seeing (many more of the)
same thing you are describing (Forte Agent / XP).

I wonder if it's possible more people are using the same Usenet
solution and hence why we are seeing more of the same issue?

Thanks guys for prompt response

as far as i'm aware i'm not running a "kill file"

and some of the "original missed messages" are only a day or a couple of
days old upon further investigation

so not sure it's a age thing - unless it's me being an old fart

Thanks

I'm afraid it is all down to an outfit which has, for their own
reasons, set up a web portal to the newsgroup

http://www.homeownershub.com/uk-diy/

Whilst promulgation is, in itself, no bad thing, the downside is
that users unfamiliar with usenet can, and do, search for topics
of interest but completely fail to notice the original posting
date.

To compound the problem, these novices don't realise the
importance of using at least a little quoted text.

Some uk.d-i-y posters have tried to pass on a few words of wisdom
on the use of usenet, I don't know how well they are doing
because I have a kill filter on posts from @example.com which
seems to catch most of them.

+ another 1.

Forte Agent + Win 8

I am getting compliments on how well the grass in the discontinued flower
beds is growing.
I was tempted to take full credit for this, but being honest said that this
bloke on the Internet helped me along.
Thanks again.

Me too, I'd suggest that the original poster is posting on one of them there
forum thingies and the particular news server you and I use has filters for
things like html or attached pictures so one never sees them.

I also have no way of knowing but I suspect some of the posts here on
threads from there do not get to there though do come here. if you get my
drift, so the issue probably can work both ways. YThose who run this web
portal have obviously not exhaustively tested their solution in the real
world.
