Sorry Gordon !!!
I have also found free servers that don't allow posting to some groups.
Which is what I thought happened to my first post. I changed settings and
the next thing I know - they all appeared.
So, to not waste your time, Don't bother to read this. :-)

Yeah, Clay.

Gordon's a busy guy. He can't waste his time reading three sentences
to see if your post works on this specific group.

Especially if you apologize in advance for any interruption.

Please apologize again to everyone.

Sheesh, Gordon. Get a life.
