I Just had a post refused by lugnet, _after_ I had filled in the form at
http://www.lugnet.com/news/post/setup/ I frigged areound for a bit and got it
to work, but it came down to the only thing I had to change was the case of my
email name from "DaveR" to "daver" in my newsreader to match what I had typed
on lugnet. Have others experienced this? is it usual that email names are
case-sensitive??
Regards, Dave Ryder.
