Ok, perhaps I'm overreacting, but it seems that NNTP replying is broken. A
reply to my own post seems to have just gone in the bit bucket. Hmm, I was
getting authentications almost immediately, now I'm still haven't got one for a

it's pretty painful. I hope this doesn't cause folks to give up on Lugnet, I
feel like my posting may go way down, I'm not sure yet.

(...) I think you're right -- something is broken. I'm sure it's entirely fixable. I'll enable more logging and get to the bottom of it. Likely, it's something broken in the code I just added. It's extremely rare (as far as I'm aware) that (...) (23 years ago, 18-Jun-01, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
