Post by Rosie MitchellPost by KosmoThe newsgroup disappeared and there was nothing there.
Has anyone else lost it all?
Still here as far as I can see on Berlin.
Is eternal-september playing up again?

It has been, yes, and I've been very surprised not to have seen
any mention. I think it was a couple or more weeks ago that it
emerged -- I think I learned or had it confirmed by
eternal-september.support. Basically, a blown server, and then
the mess of having to restore things. I think it some stage it
ended up with the creation of fresh indexing in some cases,
with the result that if you're using a mail agent that downloads
just headers initially there are going to be mismatches and
disappearances, real or apparent.
As I'm in the habit of
letting my umra inbox stack up to the rafters, allowing me
potentially to look at, and even answer, non-recent contributions,
I've seen lots disappear. I'm hopeful that they'll still be in
the cache folder that Claws puts them in when I first read them.
It's certainly got a few thousand still in it. It wasn't like this with
Turnpike! [Eeyore face]
I've thought things were getting to look like normal again
but haven't checked much the last couple of days.
