abpw web page?
Hello folks,
I usually look at http://www.delorie.com/wood/abpw/ to see the latest stuff posted to alt.binaries.pictures.woodworking, but for the past couple of days I get nothing there, just the page header and footer. Is it just me, or anyone else having this problem? Bill Ranck Blacksburg, Va. |

Then *CROSS-POST*(1) your picture to =that= group _and_ a.b.p.w. Your ISP will accept the message, and pass it on, because it is posted to a group that they _do_ carry. When they do that, they do 'preserve' the "invalid" (on their system), group(s) for that article. Thus, when it hits the "wider" world, it makes it to a.b.p.w. *OR* you _could_ just =ASK= your ISP to add a.b.p.w to the list of newsgroups they do carry. (1) "Cross-post" -- to send _one_ copy of an article, with multiple newsgroups listed on the "Newsgroup:" header line. Anybody reading _any_ of the newsgroups so listed will see the article. With _most_ newsreaders, though, once they see that particular article in _one_ newsgroup, they will *NOT* see it in the others. Newsreader software is 'smart' about this kind of thing. |

Requiring a login, captcha, and lettings users delete[1] posts should stop most of that... [1] say if more than 3 people mark it deleted it's deleted. still if most people carry the group it's a waste of time |

Opens fine for me. However, I have been seeing very few posts on abpw
during the past few days. Actually one since the 3rd. Ron |
