Actually, I didn't mean that. I meant that recently, viewing a couple of lists (Google Groups, I think) through the Gmail interface, I haven't been seeing *other* peoples' original/first posts -- in other words, I'm seeing some threads (that I haven't posted to at all) starting with the second post on down.
Also, it seems to me that I normally *do* see my own post when I start a thread (not sure if I would right now). I'm not saying you're wrong... I suspect we're just talking at cross-purposes, about two slightly different things, somehow. I'm talking about reading this group in my Gmail account, while logged in to it. Are you referring to something else? Hey, I just remembered I only got four hours sleep last night -- don't take anything I say too seriously, okay?.
