Last night I found out that lugnet wouldn't let me post with out filling out
the posting setup again.  I filled it out again and every thing seems fine

computer trouble and because of that, I had to renter my internet password so
the provider could recognize me.  Is this why I had to redo the posting setup,

That shouldn't be why, no.  You must have toasted some settings in your
newsreader or emailer or something like that.

Let me take a look at the dead-articles log on the server and see if it has
any clues...  Hmm, there aren't any rejected articles in the log (at least
none matching with "gettig" or "Blake" in the "From:" header).  That means
the server never rejected any of your messages.  Which means you must be
talking about not being recognized at the news-posting page via the web
interface.  In that case, you almost certainly toasted your cookies file.

Did you reinstall your browser or disable cookies recently?
