You mean NNTP? Or "G'day"? ;] Just about since ever for the latter. But
it doesn't sound at all like the Auzzie version. It's a contracted "Good Day"
but the "day" has a long a-sound, unlike for Auzzies (which is more of a

So I'm up and running now. Honestly I was surprised to see that NNTP
has remained the only way to edit/delete webposts since the last time I
was here 2 years ago.
Thanx bunches!
