    I didn't receive Chris's post on m.s.firefox I had to view it on

    In it Chris states:

    *WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN*
    lists.mozilla.org: April 3
    news.mozilla.org: Sometime after April 3

    But has it happened already? The last message I received on m.s.ff
    was from Jeremy Nicholl at 23.48 on 25/3 RE: Highlight All.

    Should I have?

    I use newshosting.com but as I'm receiving all the other groups I
    subscribe to without problem I doubt that they are the reason.

    Anything you receive in the mozilla.* 'groups on any server other than
    the mozilla one has "leaked"; unlike other 'groups, the mozilla.* ones
    aren't "peered" to other newsservers, though some posts _do_ leak (I'm
    not sure how).

    And perhaps that's the scariest thing about the modern mob. In social media,
    we haven't created a monster. We are the monster.

    But I've got Agent V8 configured to use "news.mozilla.org" so that
    shouldn't be the problem, should it?

    Update...

    I've now received two, and only two new messages.
    28.3 at 23.23 from Brett Busby re: Replacement mailing list'

    and Chris's at 29.3 at 02.26 saying:

    Everyone, please note that the above link is not created by Mozilla.
    It is not maintained by Mozilla, and not affiliated with Mozilla.

    I assume there were many more messages (and looking at Google groups
    seems to confirm it) between Jeremy's on the 25th and Brett's on the
    28th that I've missed.

    I'm using newshosting.com and Agent Vn 8 configured to use "news.ams.newshosting.com" for the majority of groups and
    "news.mozilla.org" for m.s.firefox and m.general.

    There hasn't been a similar gap in receiving m.general messages.

    Any thoughts.

    Thanks Andy. I've confirmed it is Agent that's the problem. I set up
    the Pan newsreader, configured new.moxilla.org, subscribed to
    m.s.firefox and received them all.

    I'm puzzled atm, I haven't made any changes to my Agent settings for a
    long time so I don't think it's finger trouble on my part <g>

    I've ask in alt.usenet.offline-reader.forte-agent. I hope Ralph Fox or
    somebody else has some suggestions.
