	I had on one occassion almost missed a response to my message as 
my ISP did not pick up the message. But I found it on dejanews and 
responded. Thanks for additional information.

	A very interesting feature is getting a statistics on a 
particular poster. From the poster profile one can go the messages as well.
The dejanews is fun to use.
