   This newsgroup seems to be a little bit of a mess on various   
   newsservers.  I'm currently posting on RFN but I've checked the thread   
   on several alternate newsservers I use because RFN was missing a post or   
   two in this thread, which is a high percentage.  EL's EarthLink's   
   newsserver doesn't carry this group.  Googlegroups doesn't carry this   
   group.  I know what is wrong with EL.  I don't know what is 'wrong with'   
   GG.   
      
   RFN shows me 12 posts in the thread including sinner's 'cited' above.   
   Some others showed 12 or 13.  The 'best' newsserver I checked shows me   
   14 as did several of the ones I checked which were complete.  Some   
   newsservers showed me various 'devious' paths for the posts which were   
   missing on other newsservers.   
      
   I may have to do some investigational work and change my primary   
   newsserver from RFN news.readfreenews.net to something else.
