I posted in various ways to test it earlier.
I went into the O.E. one and changed my name (that shows) from "Carrie"
with a capital C to "carrie" with a small c. I thought there might be
something blocking it with my user name. Though I can't imagine what, since
it's both google groups and the aie.cjb.net newsgroup (in O.E.) and both are
separate. Though they show up on each others, like posts put on google show
up on the news server and vice versa.

And, on google it says "your response has been sucessfully posted" (though
it never shows up) and on O.E. it shows as SENT in my "Sent" folder (but
doesn't show up)

  The one I posted with my name and the small c (in O.E.) showed up. It
also shows up on google groups.

  Apparently, on both formats of posting to that one group, my (user)name
(with a capital C) is being blocked.
  I don't know how this is possible, or it's something someone could do in
some way. If it was something corrupted like a file it might apply to one
group, but to both? One google groups and one the news reader in Outlook
Express?

  And, my posts are showing up on other topic groups.

  I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone (LOL)
