I use news.individual.net as a news server.
It used to be fine, which was a relief after losing a lot of posts with the
previous server. Now that I subscribe, I'm losing
posts right and left. Example: missed all Damsel's post of yesterday on
Crash and the thread which has followed. Found it quite by accident on my
other server. This is just one instance. Is anyone having the same
problem?

I suppose -- since I use that server, too. Mostly, though, I don't care.

I've only noticed one missing post. I saw Lynne's reply to one of
Sheldon's posts, but never saw his original post.

Because a real news reader does a better job and for that you need a
different news server. If you're between computers, away from home or
looking for dropped/deleted posts, google groups is fine - but it's
not good enough to use as an every day news reader.

There is nothing wrong with that newsserver - none of the posts you
mention are missing. My newsreader (MacSOUP) shows missing posts in any
existing thread, so I would have noticed. Besides, I use two other
newsservers on a regular basis and still notice no missing posts. My
guess is, the problem is likely to be the sorry, broken excuse for a
newsreader you insists on using. Try to check posts marked as read and
chances are you'll find the "missing" ones.

ObFood: Scampi alla Buzara, a recipe from _The Food of Venice_ by Luigi
Veronelli. BTW, this recipe and method is as much Dalmatian as it is
Venetian in origin.

Scampi alla Buzara
Shrimp Buzara-Style

In this dish from Venice's Trattoria Corte Sconta, shrimp are cooked
using the "buzara" method, a method used to cook all kinds of seafood in
Venice and the surrounding area. Try this with calamari or mussels,
too.

3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 3/4 lb (800 g) medium shrimp (prawns), cleaned and deveined
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup (250 ml) dry white wine
Salt and freshly ground white pepper to taste
3/4 cup (180 ml) tomato purée
1 tablespoon bread crumbs
1/2 golden delicious, or other sweet apple, peeled and grated
1 tablespoon flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped

In a large skillet, cook the garlic and shrimp in the oil. When they
turn pink, add the wine. Allow the wine to evaporate. Season to taste
with salt and pepper. Add the tomato purée, the bread crumbs, and the
grated apple. Stir and cook until the sauce has thickened,
approximately 5 minutes.

Discard garlic. Arrange the shrimp on a serving plate. Pour the sauce
over the shrimp. Sprinkle on parsley and serve immediately. Serves 4.

I haven't been looking for it, but have not noticed anything unusual
at all lately - at least the threads I look at seem complete and
coherent (well . . . . .)

I stopped using it when they began to charge for it, not because of
the charge but because they introduced a new rule saying you couldn't
munge your email address. So stupid! No spamfest for me, thank you...

Thank you, Victor. However, I do have news.individual.net and also
news.verizon.net, both using Outlook Express. Oddly, I pick up missing
posts from the Verizon source.

OB food: I appreciate your Scampi alla Buzara recipe.

I used to use it too, and found it to be excellent. So, the service has gone
downhill since they started charging huh? That seems a bit strange - they
said they were charging to keep the service excellent with all the traffic
they now had to deal with...

I'm currently using reedfreenews - a google for that will turn up the
subscription page if you're interested - not had any problem really, just
the odd one or two posts I don't seem to see.
