Good Morning LG. I do not know the recipes disappear quickly. The only
thing I can think of it is the person who is responsible for your news
server. I know it is up to them when it comes to administsor of the
news server.

Shot, I just checked and my retention goes back to Jan 16. Talk to your
ISP, they are the ones that control this

Lawrence Gilburtson surprised us with

> why is the retention time so bad on this text ng...

retention time is not something the poster is responsible for. The
owner/operator of your newsserver is the one who configures a.o. the
retention time per ng. The owner/operator usually is your ISP, that is if
you post/read through your ISP's newsserver.

If you want a better retention time on certain ngs it's worth looking round
for a better nerwsserver; you might find one he alt.free.newsservers.

LG...Hi...The problem lies with your ISP....Some have a long retention
time...Others can be very short....Look for another ISP and Inquire what the
retension time is for their Newsserver !..

thanks all for y our explanations....LG

Try http://news.individual.net, they are in Germany, and the news feed is
very good. But they do not have binary groups. But for these type groups
they are good. Access is free all you have to do is fill out a short
registration form and in a couple of days they send you a username and
password.
