Just curious: are folks filtering out 'gignews.com' or 'supernews.com'?
Lately, in a number of newsgroups, I have received no replies and yet
others who posted nearly identical responses did receive replies (but
posted using other NNTP servers).


I write it off as the newsgroups getting too damn cliquish.
Just like Junior High. *Too many of the lurker/occasional posters
have just dropped out, so it's just the regulars talking to one
another. *And many of them won't deign to answer even a direct
question.


Some time ago I noticed threads that suggested some tendency to
blanket filter on the above NNTP providers.


Here's the Path: header from your message here. *So it got to Bellsouth
and Highwinds (which is the real source behind around a half a dozen
NSPs, like Newsguy and Teranews).


Path: zenier!
* * * s02-b52!
* * * num01.iad!
* * * npeer01.iad.highwinds-media.com!
* * * news.highwinds-media.com!
* * * feed-me.highwinds-media.com!
* * * bigfeed3.bellsouth.net!
* * * news.bellsouth.net!
* * * border2.nntp.dca.giganews.com!
* * * nntp.giganews.com!
* * * backlog2.nntp.dca.giganews.com!
* * * nntp.posted.cpinternet!
* * * news.posted.cpinternet.POSTED!
* * * not-for-mail


Message-ID: t
also got to AIOE.


Somebody appears to be filtering out crossposts to the alt.fan.l*mb**gh
and r.r.s, (or maybe it's the ones with too many crossposts). *I don't
get them from Highwinds, but do from other feeds. *(That helps this
group a bit for some folks. *So Roy, don't bother doing it).


- Don't worry about Roy.
- That retard is busy changing all the subject
- lines in the threads just to screw people up.
