He doesn't look daft in a newsgroup.

He looks like someone asking others who know the answer.

Lay off.
Quite agree with you.

As an interesting aside I'm posting here via my ISP's Usenet news server,
and a while ago I posted an item Lowe HF-150 control software. I got no
replies so just assumed the old HF-150 is dead and gone. Then a month or so
later while Googling LOWE I saw my post in the Yahoo Group for
rec.radio.shortwave

That made me kind of angry. What on earth is any reputable company like
Yahoo doing shadowing and feeding a Yahoo group of rec.radio.shortwave AND
NOT feeding data back to the original source group on Usenet. And if they
are not allowed to do it then they should not be basing a group on
rec.radio.shortwave. Undermines the whole community and data integrity for
ALL.

Since then I'm wondering how much is being lost on the Usenet group because
our input is taken and played with behind closed doors elsewhere. And for
any Yahoo group members reading this, how much info are you missing because
other 'groups' elsewhere are doing exactly the same thing.
