It appears that Randem makes a special effort to be both confusing and
annoying. Perhaps he doesn't understand how Usenet works. Or maybe he
just doesn't care.

Lately, a few of the threads on my server, haven't been
complete. In such a situation, it helps *a lot*, if the
original post or some context, is present in the answers.

In an ideal world, a server would never lose posts, but
I've noticed some problems recently on two of my USENET
servers. I think some Google Groups posters went missing,
while the regulars answering the posters, still showed up. To
hope to reconstruct the thread, does require some
context.

I doubt he is configured to include the message in his response. He doesn't
know how.
