I don't know about that, Patrick (I'm often more like a vegetable
myself) but one thing has been bothering me about you for months. It
seems that I almost never see your posts on my usual newsserver. This
thread is an example: I missed your OP, but noticed the thread when
Adrienne replied. And this last post of yours to which I am replying
went completely unnoticed by myself until Nikita answered you (good
thing people quote your text).

For some reason, news.bluewin.ch thinks you are in some way evil (a
spammer, perhaps) and (almost always, but not always) refuses to serve
your posts. But I can go to another server like
allnews.readfreenews.net, and there you are.

Why are you doing this to me? >:-(

Seriously, have you heard such reports from other people? Or is it just
my ISP/NP that's so stupid?
