If your posting has made it through, and you have read the posting, it is marked as "read" and therefore will not show up next time you go to look for it. The way to retrieve an already read posting is to go into the newsgroup (hfx.general for example) and type a lower-case 'r' (without the quotes) or ' & ' (in PINE Newsreader, also without the quotes). The next thing you would do is an author search forwards. To do this, you need to type a lower-case 'a'. You will then see a prompt which looks like this: To that you type in your own name, or e-mail address, and then press return. You will be then taken into your article.
