Ping: Dora from Dee

A rfc'er sent me a message that you have asked me a question. I've not
seen your postings, nor have I you in a list of my blocked senders.
Sometimes this happens; I don't get Pastorio's postings either, and a few
other people. Don't know why.

If you have a kill file, you killed them instead of the thread....
check your filters.

Maybe it's worth clearing out your killfile and starting again Dee. Just to
be on the safe side.

I don't killfile threads. I have checked my filters for Pastorio's, and he
hasn't been filtered, blocked or killfiled, but I still don't receive his
postings.

That's just plain weird! Something is wrong, so do what Jen suggested
and clear your kill-files. Start from scratch. If you don't have any
filters set and still have problems getting certain posters, then your
news server is probably at fault.

No, I don't think I'll start from scratch because I've too many blocked
senders and message rules gathered, entered, etc. that have nothing to do
with the cooking groups I belong to. They include 'deletes' and all sorts
of instructions which I've set up in my address files, too. Too many that I
never want to ever enter again in my email system. I'll have to put up with
what I have now; don't want to start anew and let all the 'garbage in'
(garbage out) again. Perhaps my news server is at fault -- perhaps me --
but I've been active in genealogy for years and this list is long and too
arduous to be redone. It will have to stand. It's not like deleting
"history" or "cookies."
Thanks for the advice, tho. My appreciation.

You might consider printing out the contents of your killfile and filter
file so that you could gradually check them and note the changes you might
want to make. I don't usually like dealing with paper, but sometimes it's
a better way to go.

Thanks,Wayne.
Another approach in this case:
Since I've pinged Dora, I'll wait for her to answer this posting: "Ping:
Dora from Dee" or "Re: Ping: Dora from Dee." Perhaps she has ME in HER
killfile in error. :) Never the 'twain to meet.
