"Original reply not visible to me" meant that I could not see my original
reply, so I did not know whether it had gone through or not. On previous
occasions where this happened I was able to see my post when someone else
replied to it.

Yes, am using ISP's news server -- it's a free/included service. They went
through upheaval withe their mail servers but they seem to be over now.
Maybe news servers were also being upgraded.

What's the advantage of your suggestion?

Thanks for your help.

Try getting this newsgroup from here instead:

FWIW here is the References: header from Bruce's last reply to your
question

So if you're implying that you saw that reply to your question but
didn't see your question you could download it specifically
by constructing a news link like this (and setting msnews.microsoft.com
as your default news server before trying to use it):
