I'm posting to these groups because I wasn't sure where else to post to. My question is on submitting followup articles using "F". How does the software discriminate "long" followups? I know that the article is supposed to be trimmed down and I do that, but it seems sporadically that my article gets rejected for that reason. I get a message saying that the new text has more lines than the old or something like that, when, in fact, I must have trimmed the original article down by 75-80% overall. Might it be something at my site or am I missing something? Any mail would be greatly apprecieted. Thanx. -- Robert P.
