If you messages aren't being propogated to any of the
other several thousand news servers on the planet, then
only you are reading your own messages.

r.v.p still has no messages on one of the largest servers
on the planet (Supernews). it is also still labeled as
"Moderated" which is *why* no messages are accepted
or propogated.

Notice the archive numbers at the bottom of the page...
The newsgroup died in Feb-2002 and most months
since then have zero messages. Only one message is
shown for the last half of 2005. (Back in September)
Quite a reduction from 500-700 per month.
