Usenet problem: uk.rec.gardening
For the last few days the only thing I have got on uk.rec.gardening is a repetition of a set of 5 postings about poppy seeds. Nothing else appears - and it is a busy group - and when I have posted a test message to it, it doesn't come back. Who do I complain to? Michael Bell --

Absolutely. I have a 'latest build' folder and every time I update (roughly every two-three weeks) I copy the current version into a backup folder in case I have to revert. This has only been necessary once in the last two years. George --

My recommendation to everybody is to use the latest development build - with the caveat that you should keep a copy of (at least) the last version that works for you. I keep up to date with the latest development version. These versions have been, on the whole, far more stable that the dire warnings on the web site suggest. Problems have been rare. The great saving grace is that it's dead easy to revert to an earlier version, so long as you've kept one. You only need to keep the zip file from the NS web site. Dave
