looks like your subject is getting trashed
or is it just my newsbrowser or ISP?

Strange, after I replied your subject looks fine.
Lots of other junk on this group though.

No idea what you are talking about. His post, some six other replies
and your own pair of posts appear normal. Could you be having a
character set problem? His post claims to be

User-Agent: KNode/0.6.1
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit

while both of yours differ only in claiming to be

User-Agent: KNode/0.8.0

>Lots of other junk on this group though.

Asking my newsserver for the last 50 article numbers only brings up
40 articles, suggesting that some articles got tossed (perhaps spews
like the 'MI5-Victims' spew reported in the stats file, or other spam).
That goes back to 11/22/07. You may find 'alt.os.linux.mandriva' a
more useful group.
