Because it doesn't matter for this case. But here it is. http://www.triffids.de/pub/screenshot/et091112-b.png (22 KB) >Are you telling me that you can post to news.ethernal-september.org >(other than there ethernal-september.org newsgroups without an email >address and using localhost as your outgoing nntp server? No. I'm telling you, that localhost is assigned to SMTP, in this case, not normally, and has nothing to do with posting to eternal. >> And here is a posting to eternal using localhost for SMTP. >> <4afb54a4.4070...@hfigge.myfqdn.de> > >How in the f&*$ is anyone supposed to find that?

You could use news://news.eternal-september.org:119/4AFB54A4.4070608%40hfigge.myfqdn.de because you are using eternal. >And even if it were, why bother to use it to find your post. MIDs are exactly the way to identify a postings and finding it. Without the necessity of using Google.

It is not always possible to provide such a link. There are internal NGs. And if a link could be posted, well, it takes time until a posting is available at Google. Furthermore there are cases with 'X-No-Archive' which cannot be found at Goggle, but very well on a newsserver. >Are you just obtuse, lazy, or both? As said, MIDs are the common way to identify a posting. And there is an easy way of using them.
