More. Trying to untangle agent+eternal-september on two PCs.
Doesn’t work unless you say “one, two, three.”

It probably needs you to pay a tariff for it to work...
Maybe eternal september is on the Island occupied by pinguins
I converted this last computer from Supernews to Eternal September. Eventually that sort of worked, but I could post to sed but never see new posts, even my own.
So I applied the standard software fix, reboot the PC. That didn't help.
Strangely, I could see new posts in two other ng's but none in sed.
Software these days makes no sense. One tries random weird things in hopes of fixing bugs. In my case, I deleted sed from my subscribed groups, looked it up in the ng directory, and reselected it. That worked.
We are in the dark ages of computing.
For something like this, ask Ralph Fox on "alt.usenet.offline-reader.forte-agent" about the Agent part of the story.
I use GigaNews, which is very good but is not free.

You may well be. Most of us can get out computers to work, and know who to ask when they don't.
During the actual dark ages, you'd have had to go to the equivalent of a university library in Spain or the Middle East - real universities didn't get going until after the dark ages - and ask a Muslim scholar to tell you.
...nobody noticed. :-(
Oh, pooh.

Good one! :-) Undoubtably said without spleen; had it been typed it would have been even more humerus.

Pheno-typed or Karyo-typed?

Excellent. But if you need the real thing, consider CDM.
