 Well, I have this problem. Could somebody help ?
  In reply to an article, I tried posting my response. I got a message :
"inews : ...... (user) has more text than new text", or something like
that, and my article was rejected and appended to dead.article. What
does this mean? I tried various things, including writing into a file
and trying to post that. Didn't work. I edited the file to shorten it,
so that it included just my response (no references). It worked fine !
What's wrong ? Please e-mail responses. Thanks in advance.
