I replied to it in the first of those newsgroups.
The 24hoursupport.helpdesk newsgroup however cannot be resolved by my news
program so my responses are not being posted to that group.
Yes they are.
You are 100% correct, Andy. Thanks for posting.
Doug Robbins seems to be an "A-OK" MVP but has obviously *no clue* about
what is happening here!
I saw a message in the 'microsoft.public.test.here'group - nowhere else.
I responded to it ONLY in the *test* newsgroup. Here is my header to
substantiate this fact:-

What is your problem, Mark?
Posts to word.mailmerge.fields have not shown up (it's been about 14
hours.)
Also I've noticed that some usually very busy groups have no new
posts in a
relatively long time, e.g, sqlserver.programming, newest post: 2/2082010
12:39 PM.
Maybe it's just my usenet client that's jacked, but I
unsubscribed/re-subscribed to all the groups I read...
Something's wrong somewhere.
