Uh... it was a test. I couldn't believe that the ng had died as it
used to be very active, but I wasn't seeing anything. So, I thought I
try a post to see it if showed up. It didn't, so something had to be
wrong. It seems to be working now. I just got 27,000 headers. Still
not sure what was wrong. Moonspots?

I think you are right. I've only been with them a few weeks. It was
great for a week or so, but nothing but trouble since.

What 're-indexing' does is _change_ all the article numbers. *ON*THE*SERVER*.
Your newsreader "thinks" you've seen articles through "number 87 gazillion
and 4", because that was the number of the last article you read, and _now_
the server is dishing up article numbers in the low thousands. Smaller
than before, so these *must* be 'previously read' articles, and your news-
READER program therefore doesn't show them to you.
The 'fix' for that particular issue is to tell the newsreader program to
'forget' what it knows about previously-read articles, and start over.
Unsubscribing, and then re-subscribing, *may* accomplish that 'forgetting'.

It actually seems to be in remission now but will undoubtedly become
active again soon.

Gotta wonder how he's going to see these responses if his ISP hasn't
updated in over a year...

Nope, there's nobody here but us chickens. And a few hundred

I wondered about that too, but I figured that he had something
worked out. You know, a seance, ouija board, something like that.

More likely the news server burped.

Less likely. Servers burp every now and then and repost a bunch
of stuff. We went through this about a year and a half ago as I
recall. Most people don't play with their settings, so if it just
happens without having done anything, it's usually the server.

Yep, your News Service (TeraNews) is seriously screwed. If you can read
this (and if you can, then your problem is solved), you probably need to
unsubscribe, then re-subscribe to the newsgroup. Teranews probably
re-indexed something.
Used to use them for a little while; they were down more than they were
up, I could only see about 1 of every 10 abpf postings.
SuperNews on the other hand has been hassle and worry free.
