I just found this old (2000) topic at:- http://www.corfid.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/000069.html
to which I could not reply directly as corfid incorrectly insisted I was lost but by subtly editing the number of a current topic up it came correctly and ready to be replied to
Enjoy

I had almost the very same trouble yesterday with the Newsgroup.I wanted to resurrect an old thread at http://groups.google.com/group/alt.music.lightfoot/browse_frm/thread/20f2deb8f9a587c0/299a611f0003334f?lnk=st&q=lightfoot+groaners+group %3Aalt.music.lightfoot&rnum=2&hl=en#299a611f 0003334f
to which I had made my very first NG posting back in 1997 but google groups told me to go and boil my head because the thread was "more than 30 days old"
So friggin' what??
That thread was on the subject of "Lightfoot Groaners" such as the merry jape about introducing the band to the new father joke recounted in this topic. I will be starting a new thread on the Newsgroup later pasting in the various messages of the old thread,that was itself started by Wayne Francis himself in fact,
