This forum is primarily a list server.  People sign up and get e-mail
posted to this group.   Messages sent to the list serve are copied to
the news group.    But messages posted to the news group aren't copied
to the list server.

I subscribe to the list server, with the option that I don't get
e-mail sent to me.    When I download messages from the news group, I
get all of the messages.   When I reply, I try to remember to reply to
the list server instead of to the newsgroup.   That way, everybody
interested gets the message.    When I am trying to solve a problem
(either mine or of someone on the newsgroup), this can make a real
difference.

Messages posted to the newsgroup do not reach everybody.
