What does one have to do?

The query was indeed posted and is present now.

You posted the original query at 3:39, and some seven hours later want
an answer ? Its probably true that your original query is still being
propagated through USENET.

USENET is like a bulletin board - someone who knows the answer needs
to _see_ your query before they can possibly answer.

USENET news groups aren't 'help desks', no one is tasked with
answering all the questions that are posted.

It could be you're doing something no one here ever heard of, but that
isn't likely with the scads and scads of expertise around here.

Don't be overly concerned if your queries don't get instant answers.
Give it a day or two, not a few hours.

The other thing you need to do is stick with the original thread, not
start a completely different thread. The only reason I noticed both
of your posts is because my current download is notably short and it
is easy to spot two posts from one author.

That won't likely happen if the news group gets busy and there are two
or three pages of the message index to scan.

It's a mystery to me, too!

Yeah the spam on this group is out of control. As for your question, maybe
you would get advice if you posted it to alt.home.repair

Set your filters up to scrub out messages whose subject contain any of
these words:

OT, JEWS, ISLAM, GAY, JESUS, BUSH, CHRISTIAN, ISRAEL, TONY BLAIR, TROLL,
TURKEY, EPISCOPAL, JEWISH, BROWNE, ARNOLD, JAVA, MUSLIM, LIBERAL

This'll take care of about 99% of it.
