I've just been sending my posts to questions at lists.ntp.org via email and 
reading posts via email.  I wasn't aware that a newsgroup was involved 
although I have noted your reply, for example, is also copied to a 
newsgroup.

(PS - If you email me and don't get a quick response, don't be concerned.
I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy mailing lists and
such.  I don't always see new messages very quickly.  If you need a
reply and have not heard from me in 1 - 2 weeks, send your message again.)
