post removal?

Hi...

I've been trying to post a question about an intermittent problem we're
having with IE7 and session cookies. I've tried posting it 4 times but the
post never seems to show up.

After the last attempt, I did a page refresh and saw it on the list but when
I did another refresh 5 minutes later, it had vanished.

I've never seen any errors in the posting; the post just disappears. Are
there some kind of filters that delete posts after the fact based on some
filtering criteria?

Thanks
Mark

Do yourself a BIG favour and ditch the horrible web interface. Use a news
reader instead.

but not the MS newsserver, apparently. Try using a newsreader instead.

The web interface has never been great but I've never seen it as bad as this
last week.

The odd thing is that I did see that post that made it into dejanews pop up
on the web interface the first time I refreshed, but then it disappeared.
Seems like there's some kind of filter running at MS that deletes posts it
doesn't like, though what it doesn't like I don't know.

My company uses Exchange and the full Outlook client, so they removed
Outlook Express from our system. I've been poking around for free usenet
clients and a number of the better reviewed seem to have gone from free to
pay lately.

Toying with the idea of getting Opera for the usenet client

Thanks
Mark
